About Us
We Make Things
Adventure Products, a small business started in 1996 by Joel Karsten, has been manufacturing and marketing products developed in-house or licensed inventions for 24 years. Several products have sold more than one million units. Innovation is always at the heart of products that Adventure Products has brought to market.
Joel Karsten
Joel is the owner and founder of Adventure Products and has navigated the development of many new products, often with other inventors; however, Joel is the exclusive inventor on the patents for the UPCON product. While Joel is a featured keynote speaker at events around the world, his focus when not on stage has been exclusively on the development of UPCON for many years prior to patent filing.
ZipeLabs and Other Partners
Having partners who are at the top of their game and have specialty expertise complementing our development team helps drive our success. We rely on ZipeLabs and other companies to provide technical expertise in rapid prototyping, complex CAD design and engineering projects. Contributing partners in robotics, resin specifications, mold design, drone design and function, electrical and mechanical engineering, as well as several other areas of expertise, have helped extensively on the UPCON development project.
