10: How Seymour Segnit’s thingCHARGER Surged Over 2500% On Indiegogo

June 09, 2014

thingCHARGER is a simple, elegant new way to charge all your things. Just plug it into any outlet and you’ll have a neat charging station — free of ugly wires. You can even plug 2 or 3 thingCHARGERs together and charge all your things at once.

In this interview Seymour mentioned how he may have captured lightning in a bottle... or in this case the "charge in our digital devices. Asking for $25,000 in his original IndieGogo product launch he ended up raising nearly $650,000 by the time the campaign had ended.

thingCHARGER looks to do wireless charging in a different way. Their product is a plug-in device that sits over-top of your wall outlet and features interchangeable tops that allow for different gadgets to be charged on top of it without the need of a cable. iPhones, Androids and other devices can be plugged into the top of the thingCHARGER while still giving you access to your outlet plugs. You can stack multiple thingCHARGERS on top of each as well to create a multi-pronged charging dock. It’s a pretty interesting take on changing how electronic charging works and they have created plenty of enthusiasm for their product.
