Milestone: Glove Prototype Sample Complete
Who's Responsible: Michael Thrash
Details: Seeking $125,000 through fund raising that will be used to manufacture, new employees and for marketing expenses. It will take approximately one to two months to complete this process, during which time we will start executing our marketing plan to create buzz about the new glove concept.
As a collegiate athlete and gym owner, I've experienced and seen athlete's abuse their hands every day and subject them to conditions that are questionable at best. So the least I can do is give back by helping athlete's take every precaution to protect them from the experience and knowledge I have about gloves and 'gym-ing'. The majority of people who go to the gym and athletes in their respected sports, know they should protect their hands but choose not to use gloves because of current designs; don’t give proper support, are too bulky or failures in functionality. The importance of wearing the proper glove for the job can’t be overstated – especially since rips, tears and injury come with trying to better yourself during workouts. The glove I've developed from over the past 5yrs, guards against common injuries a person will suffer in their workouts and the unique design gives the user freedom and movement to fatigue the targeted muscle without worrying about your grip failing first.
