Northport, AL -- If you think about the qualities an entrepreneur needs, you will soon understand how Abbi Jones became one. When Abbi Jones launched her company Medpaper and its flagship product eco-pí, she left a lucrative career in pharmaceutical sales to take a risk. She was also a single mother and she started it just before the pandemic. It all worked out, and the Medpaper team is now pursuing a patent on a second invention.

Her first product, eco-pí, is a paper funnel that facilitates the collection of urine samples. The concept of controlling the urine stream while staying clean is something women can immediately associate with, and something that makes even more sense now that cleanliness precautions are a top priority.

Abbi’s flagship product was named eco-pí, for several reasons, the foremost being a desire to lessen the amount of plastic used and discarded.

Abbi cautions entrepreneurs to take their time developing, modifying and manufacturing a product. She notes that working with paper is not always easy, since it’s not a very malleable material, and that her current product went through several tweaks. Doing initial research, trials, and soliciting feedback were also important steps in product development. Abbi knows that having an idea, patenting it, and then manufacturing it are just the tip of the iceberg, and there is a long road of legal, financial and marketing work ahead; work that often requires the input of expert collaborators.
