EmazingLights is the latest dance craze called Gloving. They have gloves that have lights on the ends. They come into Shark Tank with the stage lighting dimmed and dancers waving their hands. Their gloves have up to fifty modes and 20 different colors in the glove.
Gloving is moving to Pop Culture with EmazingLights
Gloving is moving from a subculture to pop culture. EmazingLights launched four years ago, and have done thirteen million dollars. The calendar year is on target for five and a half million dollars. Gloves are their primary product, with other light devices like Orbite and ePoi and they have created another company called iHeart raves. The other business made $1.4 million, and they are on track for $2.5 million. He is offering the equity in both of the companies.
He grew up burning CD's and selling them. His girlfriend got him into gloving. He has a patent pending on the programming on the lights. He owns eighty percent of the Gloving market.
EmazingLights started in the trunk of Brian's car eight years ago when the management kicked him out of their fast food parking lot. Evidently, crowds of people found out he was selling the lights, and they sought Brian out.
Brian started EmazingLights with just $100, and the business is now over eleven million dollars in sales and growing. EmazingLights ranked #189 on Inc Magazines fastest growing companies in 2013 with a 2,281% growth rate over three years! That's massive.
