Help us Light Up Your Sport!

We need your help to get our product to market!

As of right now, my brother and I (both Scouts of Troop 115 here in Traverse City, MI) are hand making each kit to order. The consumer can purchase and easily apply our lighting system to their sporting equipment. We currently have separate kits for longboards, bicycles, snowboards and snow skis.

We do have our patent pending! (Thanks Mom and Dad for your help!)

Our goal is to reach a much larger market with higher volume so we can place our product in sporting good stores, bike shops, and ski shops throughout the United States.  We will use the funds raised to create more professional packaging and to get some professional help with public relations and marketing, as well as, to do some additional upgrades to our website.  We are excited to build our brand and we thank you in advance for your support.

How'd we get this far at our age?

Our parents have been amazingly supportive in getting this new business off the ground.  We have also been working with our local SCORE Chapter and the MidMichigan Innovation Center to better plan our launch, work on a marketing campaign for this fun and unique product and to focus on being efficient. We feel with enough financial support, that eventually we will be able to expand our product line to several different application types.

With your support we will be able to make our production more efficient, prove our product has a place in a much larger market and we will be able to spend more time promoting our products to sporting goods stores and many other outlets.

Thanks in advance for your generosity and support.
