I'm Scott Rodriguez — a veteran, and the inventor of the Steadi. I designed it in Orange, California, and that's where every one is still made. The design is patent pending, and the promise is simple: it resists tipping, so your drink stays put where tables aren't.

We debuted at the Newport Beach Boat Show and sold out on the floor. I still sell face-to-face most weekends, running the same demo we call the Bump Test — I set a can in a Steadi, invite a stranger to knock it over, and let the physics do the talking.

Steadi is a small company on purpose. I read every message myself, pack the boxes, and answer the emails — customers have written reviews about that, which still surprises me a little. The prices are flat, the guarantee lets you keep what you tried, and nothing on this site is on sale because nothing here wobbles.

That's the whole story so far. The rest of it is being written in living rooms — three Steadis at a time, on average.
