Most toothbrushes today are all the same. They are made by huge corporations, mostly out of over molded plastic, and they get tossed in the garbage every other month or so. They’re designed to be sold cheap and disposed of just to turn around and buy another and do the same, we call this planned obsolescence and it’s got to stop.
At Goodwell, we’re designing the modern oral toolkit to fit your life. A toothbrush that lasts, looks great, and can be an asset to your every day routine. Our toothbrush is a supremely minimal and has a modern aesthetic with a sustainable platform that the toothbrush market today is missing. Sustainable because it is made of materials that last but also because it’s lifecycle is literally a lifetime, unlike traditional toothbrushes that you throw away 2-4 times a year.
Every penny counts!

We’ve teamed up with the most talented and experienced shops around Oregon and beyond to ensure quality and craftsmanship. The aluminum core handle will be CNC’d, texturized and anodized here in Southeast Portland, Oregon. The plastic parts will be injection molded in a shop an hour away from Portland. The Binchotin Carbon Fibers will be from Japan. The PCB for the brain fabrication will be initially made in Oregon and eventually outsourced depending on quantity an demand. We have an established supply chain for all of the component parts and are ready to start production as soon as we are funded.
We are confident with our plan but as with any multi-faceted production, there is risk involved. We are big on standards, so if we do not approve quality there will be a delay in our projected schedule. This is best for all parties involved and mostly important to the end user, you.
Outsourcing contract work in general is another risk/challenge. If one of our contracted manufactures has a delay it will inevitably delay our schedule. We will do our best to keep all of our backers up to date on schedule and ETAs.
For the past 8 months we’ve been testing and refining the Goodwell product line. The manufacturing plan is ready, and we are all set to pull the trigger! Your generous funding will assist with the cost of tooling, the first manufacturing and production run, and distribution - and more importantly, placing a brand new Goodwell in your dirty mouth! We will also be using the funding to expand the Goodwell family, customizations and accessories. In order to bring this to life, we need your support! Goodwell needs pledging, but more importantly, it needs interest! So please take a moment and click on the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram links on this page, put it out there, and lets get this product funded!
Why $12,500? Because our company is based on honest and trust, we have listed a breakdown of the costs involved in order to move forward. We have calculated our pledge goal at $12,500, representing the minimum amount we need to bring the Goodwell to life. this amount not only covers all production costs for the plastic parts and premium aluminum parts, but allows use to implement a sufficient network of quality control to ensure all units meet our standards.
The breakdown: $7,500: 3 x custom injection molding tools, fulfilling minimum orders from the manufacturer and shipping. $3,000: silicone tool for the carry case, fulfilling minimum orders from the manufacturer and shipping. $2,500: data tracker pod development and initial qty production.
We are releasing the CAD data containing our proprietary screw thread to our users as a foundation to create something of their own. This means that Goodwell users will have free reign to design and develop their own attachment parts and share ideas with us and our community. We are excited to see what you guys come up with, go bananas!
you will receive a download key to unlock this part to use as a foundation to build your own attachments. Below is an example of making chopsticks from the screw foundation part.
While in our research and development phase, we noticed most people loved the idea of a little storage space .The handle of our design can hold everyday items such as: dollar bills, toothpicks, Aspirin, matches and much more.
We decided to make all of our attachment parts out of a bamboo composite material. This allows Goodwell users to simply toss the old attachments parts in the garbage without the guilt of polluting or even bury them in your yard or garden. All of the parts, including the binchotan fibers are biodegradable.
