I started Crazyhombres to follow extraordinary inventions past the announcement, asking what works, what remains unproven and where the commercial consequences may fall.
A laboratory result can be remarkable without being a product. A patent can describe a valuable route without establishing a business. I created Crazyhombres to explore that space between scientific possibility and practical use, for investors, business readers and anyone curious about technology’s next turn.
This is a small, founder-led publication rather than a large newsroom. I use specially placed sources from around the world to find and curate the latest innovation news, looking for unusual advances with the potential to transform products, industries or infrastructure. The subjects may range from semiconductors and quantum hardware to energy storage, cooling and biotechnology.
An engineer’s starting point
My interest in invention begins with making things work. I trained as an apprentice in electronic design, worked on integrated-circuit design and later worked as a calibration and repair engineer in a UKAS-accredited laboratory. That work brought me into contact with electronic equipment used across demanding industrial settings.
I subsequently moved into product, revenue and business innovation. As Head of Innovation at Trinity Mirror, I developed digital products, new revenue approaches and partnerships with technology businesses. I later supported technology start-ups in Asia.
Today I am Managing Director of 4th Revolution Consulting Ltd. Crazyhombres draws on the practical perspective running through that career: understand the mechanism, examine the evidence and ask whether an invention can be manufactured, integrated and made useful. A record in a laboratory is only one step. Cost, reliability, yield, regulation and the needs of customers often decide what happens next.
How I approach a story
I look for inventions that feel genuinely unusual, then try to understand the mechanism and the limits of what has been shown so far. Company statements are identified as such. Experimental findings keep their conditions and caveats. I do not assume that every advance becomes a market, or that a promising prototype will displace an established product.
Where the commercial consequences matter, I set out clearly reasoned scenarios about who might benefit and who might be exposed. Funding and competitive claims appear only when there is supporting evidence. The aim is to make difficult technology readable without sanding away uncertainty.
Some stories will point towards important new businesses. Others will reveal how much work remains before an extraordinary idea can earn a place in the world. This coverage is editorial analysis, not a recommendation to buy or sell an investment.
