The Savanna Company LLC | Application Preview
The Savanna Company LLC is applying for government grants to fund the development of a tabletop version of their innovative candle testing machine. This machine will be leased to candle manufacturers, allowing them to perform in-house testing rather than sending products to a lab, making the process more cost-effective and efficient.
Their business plan involves first targeting domestic U.S. candle manufacturers, followed by international expansion. The company emphasizes the current inadequacies in the candle testing industry, which predominantly relies on subjective visual assessments. They assert that their technology will modernize the industry by introducing a more scientific, reliable testing method, ultimately leading to safer and more efficient candle products.
Savanna Company claims to face no direct competition, citing their technology as significantly advanced compared to existing testing facilities such as Intertek, Bureau Veritas, and UL. They highlight their substantial investment of over 1 million dollars in developing their testing technology, which includes infrared, laser, and machine vision components. Their first-generation machine can test 45 candles simultaneously without human intervention, positioning them at the forefront of the market.

Funding Usage
We want to build a simple table top version of our candle testing machine and lease it to candle manufacturers so they can utilize our technology in house instead of shipping candles to our lab for testing. Cheaper, simpler, and much easier for manufacturers which all have in house candle burn testing labs. We would have an annual lease charge and low cost final report charge for each candle tested.
-
Business Plan
Integrate into domestic US candle manufacturing factories first then export our machines worldwide. If you do your research into the candle industry you will find all burn testing to be visual, crude, and without any real scientific basis. Guessing mostly. Our disruptive technology will transform the candle industry paradigm into the 21st century and result in safer more efficient burning products.
-
Self Identified Competition
There aren't any. Our disruptive technology is light years ahead of other testing facilities like Intertek, Bureau Veritas, UL, and others. We have invested over 1 million dollars of our own money to develop the infrared, laser, and machine vision capabilities to power a fully calibrated time lapse video based candle testing robotic machine. Gen 1 can test 45 candles at a time without any human support.
