The project team has not yet produced a working demo for their concept. Their ability to successfully produce a prototype may be affected by product development or financial challenges.
PowerMe is an all-in-one cable. It has multiple functions that make it an essential gadget for everyone.
PowerMe can charge any microUSB or lightning device by taking power from most devices; it can also move files between devices, like photos, videos etc.
Plus, thanks to the USB adapter, when you're home you can use PowerMe as a classic microUSB or lightning charging cable.
We're on...
Features
The battery issue
We use our phones a lot during our day, and the battery is always an issue.
Our solution
PowerMe can charge any microUSB or lightning device and can take energy from almost any microUSB smartphone or tablet.
Thanks to the OTG technology, PowerMe can take energy from most microUSB devices, including smartphones and tablets; if you are used to mid or high end devices, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues.
Mobile devices are all around us, and every device is a potential power source.
You can take energy from your friend's phone, or share yours if someone needs it!
So, what about iPhones? PowerMe features an iOS version which comes with an adapter that lets you charge your iDevice. Need to use it on another device? Just unplug the adapter!
Our lightning adapter is crafted to fit PowerMe specifically. We designed it to guarantee a visual continuity between the connector and the adapter and to be tight when plugged into the connector, so you will not lose it on the road.
However, since PowerMe follows the industrial standards, any other microUSB to lightning adapter will be fine too.
Compatibility
* coming soon!
Please note that we refer to an up-to-date system; if your device is not listed here, or you're unsure about the support, don't hesitate to contact us.
You can take energy from any OTG device, please note that some low-end Android device might not support OTG functions.
Charge & Sync
With PowerMe you can download on your phone the photos you shoot with your camera last night, or access your friend's phone to grab a document you need right now.
This is possible because PowerMe fully supports USB standards for data transfers.
Design
You will bring PowerMe with you, everywhere. That's why we designed it to snap into something you always have to carry: your keys.
PowerMe features a magnetic closure that secures it to your keyring, so you can snap it and forget it's there. At least, until you need it.
We also put a lot of work into the shape of the connector casing. As you can see, it has a particular roundish shape: this form allows the connector to be plugged into any device, without having to worry about cases, covers etc.
Colors
Your keychain has to match to your own style: PowerMe is available in a selection of different colors for every taste.

One more thing...
That's great. You can charge your device from any other device and share some files if you need.
But sometimes you don't need all of this. Sometimes you're just sitting at your desk, working at your laptop, and you have an USB plug available.
PowerMe comes with a great adapter that allows you to plug it into your computer or wall charger, and charge your microUSB or lightning device like you're used to. And when you're done, just snap it back into your keyring.
Why Indiegogo?
Since we started working on PowerMe we made our best efforts to design and develop a working cable that's also durable and nice.
We identified the best supplying and manufacturing companies to mass produce this cable while keeping an high quality at a low price, and the shipping methods to deliver everything to your home in time.
How can we start production in december if the campaign is still running? That's pretty simple. As soon as our goal is reached, we don't have to wait for the campaign to finish: we can start the production.
So, if we reach our goal soon enough, you might even get your PowerMe before the end of the campaign! This is possible because our project is in an advanced state, waiting to be mass produced.
We made this simple graph to show you how we're going to use your contribution.
Our plan is to use this Indiegogo campaign to start this new company, then we will sell our products at slightly higher prices. So, pledge now to help us bring PowerMe to life, and get it at a special price!
Customer service
We are users, just like you. Over the years, we backed lots of crowdfunding projects, and in our opinion one missing thing was to communicate directly with the founders.
That's why we started a customer service in Telegram, which is up 7 days/week, for PowerMe users.
We arranged the best manufacturing methods for each piece of the cable, our manufacturers are fast and reliable, as we could test with prototypes.
Even thought we are very positive about our ability to follow our timeline, we can't be 100% sure about that. We made everything we could to ensure PowerMe is delivered in time and as promised, but shortages and delays can happen, especially when producing a totally new product.
Don't worry! We do not expect any of these issues, as we've already planned every step.
We'll make sure to keep you up-to-date about the state of the production.
The Team
F.A.Q.
How do I choose the color of the cable?
Go to www.getpowerme.com/order to manage your order, edit your address and choose the color of your cables.
How can I choose which phone to charge and what to withdraw energy from?
PowerMe has a + side and a - side. Plus and minus symbols are printed on the inside of the cable. Just plug the + side on the device you want to charge, and the - side on the device you want to take energy from.
How is PowerMe packaged?
PowerMe comes in a simple and economic plastic bag. We don't want to raise the price of the cable to add some kind of useless packaging that most people will throw away anyway. A premium packaging option might be available later.
How fast will it charge?
It depends on the device you take the power from. Usually, tablets or more powerful devices can charge faster, but there's no general rule.
Can I charge my GoPro from an iPhone?
No you can't. There's no way, at the time, to grab energy from an Apple device. See the Compatibility section for more informations.
Can I charge my device from my Nexus 6P?
No, you can't withdraw energy through the USB-C adapter.
Is my phone compatible?
Any microUSB or lightning device can be charged by PowerMe. You can grab power from any microUSB OTG device. For Android, you can check if your device supports OTG with USB OTG Checker.
Can I get a refund?
Sure, but please let us know at least one week before we ship!
What if my cable is defective?
We test EVERY cable before shipping. In the unlikely case you face some issue contact us, we can still send you another one.
