Our Origins
The story of INVZI begins with Dr. Tony, a mechanical engineering doctor from HKUST with experience in consumer electronic product design. Embarking on numerous international journeys, Tony, a global citizen, often found himself juggling a myriad of chargers. Each destination presented its unique plug type, and his tech-savvy nature meant he was always in need of diverse ports – from USB-C and USB-A to HDMI, SD cards, audio, and ethernet. This constant travel hassle sparked an idea: what if there could be a singular, all-encompassing solution?
In 2017, he left Jawbone at a Silicon Valley that was once valued at $3 billion to pursue his own vision. Determined, Tony dedicated two relentless years to craft the GaNHub – an all-in-one solution that epitomized convenience for MacBook.
Bypassing traditional investor routes, Tony introduced his groundbreaking invention, the 9-in-1 GaNHub, directly to the global crowdfunding platforms, Indiegogo and Kickstarter. The response was overwhelming. Funded by almost $350,000 from 4000 backers on Indiegogo, GaNHub achieved great success.
Today, INVZI stands as a testament to Tony's journey, echoing a simple belief: technology, when refined, can blend effortlessly into our lives, enhancing every moment. The name itself, "INVZI" represents the desire to make technology invisible in your daily life, allowing people to focus on what really matters in their lives.
Crowdfunding
In 2020, INVZI launched the first product, GaNHub: the World's First 100W Gallium Nitride (GaN) power hub that combines 100w GaN fast charging technology with all-in-one hub functions. It has 9 ports to connect laptop with 100W Max PD charging, extend display with 4K@60Hz HDMI, internet cable with Gigabits ethernet, flash drive, keyboards, SD/Micro SD cards, audio and other devices all at the same time. GaNHub has foldable US plug compatible with EU/UK/AU universal travel adapters, so it can be used anywhere. The multi-functional GaNHub is designed to be the perfect all-in-one solution for laptop, tablet and phone. With the help of almost $350,000 US and 4000 backers on Indiegogo, we were able to take our design from concept to reality.
