Millionaire taps fund to back inventor dog washer startup
Boston Globe details how John F. Taplin's fund provided $50,000 to Michael D. Kennedy to move a dog washer prototype toward production. Kennedy, with a R D Associates outfit in Brookline, faced bank rejections and SBA limits before sealing a deal offering 2 to 1 return and royalties on each sale. The Taplin & Mantle Fund then backs Micropure Inc. of Natick, aiming to cleanse stack emissions by removing fine particulates.
