Overview
Problem: Mosquito bites are the worst. And with more and more mosquitoes every year, we will be dealing with more and more bites. But the options available on the market fall short. Solution: X-Bite. A patented, anti-itch innovation that uses the only dual-action process on the market to relieve your worst bug bites fast. The goal of this campaign is to bring our invention to life by raising funds for the first official production run of X-Bite. Join us in the fight against bug bites!

Overview:

Outdoor enthusiasts! Campers! Fishermen! And anyone who plans on leaving their home at any point in the future! X-Bite is a patented anti-itch innovation that uses a dual action process to relieve your worst bug bites fast.  

 

How it works:

 1. First, a patented "X" tip applicator is pressed into the bite - a scientifically proven method that displaces and weakens the potency of the insect's saliva. 

2. Simultaneously, a powerful antihistamine ointment is applied through the tip directly onto the bite, providing relief and speeding the healing process.

This winning combination is the only one of its kind!

 

Formula

Our formula combines the following ingredients for the most effective itch relief without the drying effect of some other relief products that contain ammonia.

BENZOCAINE

Sometimes used for tooth and throat pain, this is a powerful yet mild topical pain reliever.

CAMPHOR

Commonly used to relieve itchy bites, but also can be found in a variety of products such as cough relief topical rubs. It works by slowing bacteria growth and cooling the skin.

PHENOL

Commonly used in mouthwash, this safe and effective compound kills germs, relieves pain and helps to relieve the occurrence of infection.

 

But wait... there's more!

 

FAST RELIEF

Our powerful topical ointment is combined with the natural yet scientifically proven method of pressing an “x” into your bite

 

SMART DESIGN

We wanted to make a product that would work for people who love being outside, from experienced campers to first time fishers. We've designed X Bite to be small, portable and sturdy so you can take it with you no matter where the summer takes you. Plus, with a modern sleek design, no matter what you're doing people will assume you know what you're doing. Even if you don't.

 

SOCIAL CONSCIENCE

In addition to helping you enjoy your time outdoors, we want to do our part to fight mosquito borne illness. Did you know that nearly half of the world's population is at risk for Malaria exposure? Each year, hundreds of millions of people contract the disease. With each purchase of X Bite, we intend to contribute a portion to help fight this curable disease.

 

About the campaign:

After years of development, patent lawyers, meetings, phone calls, and incredibly long group chats we're finally ready to launch X-Bite and share our invention with the world. An invention that is fully patented by the USPTO office.  

 

Why your help is important to us:

Help us help you, by helping us first. With a contribution from you, we can create the first large-scale production of X-Bite devices and begin the next step on our journey as a small business, so you can journey into the outdoors with more confidence.  

 

What we need & what you get

We are looking to raise $30,000 to create 20,000 devices and help pay for marketing and advertising in order to get the word out for this revolutionary new product. Your $10 donation will be directly responsible for manufacturing, shipping, distributing, and marketing of 5 units.

Contributors to this campaign will receive a variety of perks - check out the perks section of this page to see all the great rewards available to you.

 

What happens if we don't achieve our campaign goal?

If we don't achieve our campaign goal your funds will still be used to help us launch X-Bite. We're a group of dedicated individuals, and we are confident that people will love our product. We aim to produce 20,000 devices with our first run, but have the ability to launch a smaller production if necessary.

 

Risks & Challenges

After years of effort in making X-Bite a reality, we've encountered many challenges. Navigating the legalities of both patenting and trademarking a technology has been difficult, but we have accomplished just that.

Our next challenge is getting X-Bite produced in a responsible way that respects our desire to make a high quality, well designed product. Our biggest challenge now is getting a small run produced that passes the regulatory requirements of the FDA. We have found the right manufacturing partners to do just that. Together, we will deliver a great product at a great price and solve a problem we all deal with every summer.  

 

Other ways you can help

We understand that you may not be in a position to contribute funds at this time, but that doesn't mean you can't help us.

We need all the grassroots help we can get in order to spread the word about our campaign, so be sure to follow us and share with your social media friends!
