LAS VEGAS, Jan. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- We The People (WTP), the world's only multichannel crowdfunding retail chain and community, today announced that it is partnering with Allocacoc, a one-of-a-kind industrial design company, to provide entrepreneurs and creators with a full range of support to bring their ideas and products to consumers. This partnership will enable innovators to access the combined expertise of the two companies to design, fund, manufacture, market, and distribute products directly to consumers worldwide.

"We are thrilled to launch this partnership with Allocacoc to help creators find sustainable pathways to bring their products to international retail channels," said Jay Kang, Founder, WTP. "Our mission and values align perfectly with those of Allocacoc, and the combination of our strength in retail, and their knowledge of design and manufacturing will help some exciting startups get off the ground."

WTP will work with DesignNest, Allocacoc's end-to-end crowdfunding channel to offer funding, manufacturing, patent registration, and worldwide retail distribution. Many DesignNest products such as DAX wallets, Earbeans, and Levit8 portable standing desk are already featured at WTP stores, and the partnership should result in many more.

Executives from WTP will be on hand at Allocacoc's CES booth, #40620, to discuss this first-of-its-kind partnership. CES will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada from January 8-11, 2019.

Flipstik founder Akeem Shannon, who already has a product distributed through WTP, will have a booth at CES (#52903), and he can talk about how the WTP/Allocacoc partnership can help makers like him achieve their dreams.
