InCharged

8 years ago, our founder Jessica Gonzalez moved back into her parents' home and started working three jobs so she could start InCharged - while retaining 100% ownership, operating without debt, using no external funding, and operating with positive cash flow since day one. Aquired By: IBrands 11/21 It hasn't been easy, but it was her dream to create an opportunity for marketers to reach their audience in a new and innovative way. With InCharged technology, consumers can plug in their mobile devices for a free recharge while the brand that sponsors the charging station can present messaging in a non-obtrusive way. InCharged is a true example of a lean startup, and we're proud to be one of very few tech companies that is woman- and minority-owned. Now, we're the only charging station company that manufactures our own products right here in the USA, and we're also the only ones to offer next-day service. Our charging stations are located all over the USA, and many are available for sponsorship opportunities. Users plug into our charging stations for an average of 10 - 15 minutes and while they wait for their devices to charge, an HD video screen displays marketing messages - creating a win/win/win situation for the user, the marketer, and the charging station owner.
