Our Goal? To Help You Reach Yours.
We are a product design, business development and consulting company.
What Do We Do? Okay, so you have a product or business idea. It might exist only in your head. It might be scribbled in your journal. Or it might be roughly prototyped and sitting proudly on your shelf. How do you move forward telling the world about it? What if someone's already come up with your idea? How do you know? If you're unsure of your next move, you're in the right place. Meet Mike Miller and Paul Wemmer, partners in crime at DaVinci Systems, LLC.
Mike Miller kicked off his entrepreneurial career by inventing the Knork when he was in the 8th grade. The company surrounding the product came to fruition in 2003 when the first Knorks were produced and sold. Get the whole story over at www.knorkdork.com.
The thrill of creating became Mike's passion, and he founded DaVinci Systems, LLC in 2007 so he could help others find success as well. He's worked with many inventors and entrepreneurs just like himself to bring their ideas to light.
"Most people look at mistakes in a negative manner. Although I will be the first to admit that I hate making mistakes, it happens. A mistake isn't always a bad thing as long as you learn from it and press ahead without making the same one again. Over the past several years, I have bottled up all of my knowledge about new product development, design, prototypes, manufacturing, marketing, and business and formed several companies.
"My mission with DaVinci Systems, LLC is to help people who have an idea or even an existing product and work hand in hand with them to carve out a path to success. The work we do with inventors and business owners might be as simple as coming up with a creative name for marketing a new product or as complicated as taking an "idea" and making it a "reality". DaVinci Systems offers a wide range of services; our clients are welcome to take advantage of them all, or they can pick and choose which ones will benefit them most based on where they are in their own journey. From conception to existence, let DaVinci Systems turn your dream into a reality."

"We want to bring ideas to light, whether that means through a licensing agreement, or by taking the product straight to retail shelves." - Mike Miller
Paul Wemmer brings his own entrepreneurial spirit and experience to the team. With a strong background in sales management and relationship building, Paul works to facilitate opportunities for product licensing or retail placement agreements for DaVinci clients. From curating meetings, to getting to know clients and their goals and following up with them throughout the life of their project, Paul takes a very hands-on approach. Ask him anything and if he doesn't know the answer himself, he'll beat down the door of someone who does.
Paul has always had passion for the creative process, the strength of which evolved from his experience working in Corporate America. For more than ten years, he's worked directly with design and manufacturing teams both domestically and internationally to get products placed with some of the largest retailers in the country. His corporate roles have also included sales management, where he headed up entire teams dedicated to product placement. With years of tradeshow experience, Paul knows how to help clients craft an innovative approach to networking on a larger scale.
He's thrilled to be on board with DaVinci because he gets to do what he loves - fostering the entrepreneurial mindset within others. Paul and Mike have been friends for years, but believe it or not that isn't how their relationship began. The two actually have a business foundation! As Mike was bringing the Knork to life in 2003, Paul was there in the company's infancy, doing whatever he could to help get the Knork in front of the right people for optimum manufacturing opportunities and placement in the market. When Paul entered the corporate world he and Mike remained close friends, which eventually lead them down the path of partnership once again in early 2015.
Paul knows there's no shortage of work to be done in this business. But somehow he manages to have spare time every now and then. He used to fill up those minutes with golf, fishing and any contact sport they'd let him play... but his focus has shifted almost entirely to his family. Now he thrives on imparting knowledge onto his five-year-old son, being wrapped around his new daughter's finger, and planning the family's next adventure with his wife.
