Introduction

MAGFAST LLC [1] is a direct-to-consumer electronics company. We design and manufacture chargers, charging accessories, and charging-enabled luggage: A family of premium charging products that snap together magnetically, charge wirelessly, and support any smartphone, any tablet, any reader from any brand... old, new or in the future. A growing range of accessories that start with the last charging cable you’ll ever need. And an extraordinary new family of premium suitcases that integrate MAGFAST’s advanced chargers to keep your devices powered up while you’re on the move. 

Individually awesome, they're brilliant together.

Every one of our eleven individual MAGFAST products is designed to compete as best in class, and to fulfill a specific need. To date, the vast majority of our customers have pre-ordered kits – either our 'Pro Kit' bundle of six chargers or our ‘Hello Kit’ bundle of three chargers, both available at a truly attractive price – or our premium Lux charging cable, America’s highest-rated USB cableᵃ. We launched Heathrow, a new range of high-end charging-integrated suitcases, at the end of March 2023. Early sales are already beating expectations.

  • MAGFAST’s chargers and power banks are revolutionary, because they snap together magically, and charge as soon as they touch. No wires. No mess. No missing cables. They just work.
  • Our last share offering, which opened in November 2021, sold out, raising the maximum $5 million permitted under Reg CF.
  • In 2022, we launched MAGFAST Lux — a premium charging cable with a host of unique features and built to such high standards it comes with a Lifetime Warranty. The launch took place on Indiegogo, the well-known crowdfunding platform, and was so successful that sales exceeded $900,000 in the first month. There’s more below about this amazing new addition to the MAGFAST product family.
  • In 2023, we launched MAGFAST Heathrow — a luxury aluminum luggage set that pairs with MAGFAST Extreme, the world’s best charger for travel. Heathrow delivers the ultimate combination of style and charging power, and sales exceeded $1 million in the first month.
  • The global market for chargers and portable power banks is worth over $20 billion, and growing fast [2]. Yet, somehow, there are no great charging brands! The market for USB cables is worth over $12 billion, and growing even faster [2.1]. And the premium luggage market is estimated to be worth a whopping $48 billion and projected to grow to $76 billion by 2033 [2.2].
  • MAGFAST has the marketing and product-design potential to become a dominant force in each of these markets, one of the first and only companies to develop a world-beating system approach to charging and travel.
  • We are now shipping! Shipping to our many thousands of pre-order customers is constrained by funding (MAGFAST isn’t yet profitable) and by the care we take to incorporate user input. Nevertheless, things are moving fast: many thousands of customers have received their products, and thousands more will ship this year. Customers tell us they’re truly delighted.

PROBLEM

This story begins in a home, perhaps like yours, that always seems in need of a touch more organization.

Seymour Segnit invented MAGFAST to solve a real problem: those messy, often missing and frequently broken cables that end up all over the floor or in a drawer or back pocket somewhere . . . but which floor, which drawer, which pocket?

On the left, two power banks and a smartphone are all charging, along with a 100W laptop-ready power source. On the right, MAGFAST doing the same job.

Mobile devices have become smarter and faster, and chargers have become more powerful. But the premise of charging is largely unchanged: clunky, throwaway boxes that rely on wires which , almost inevitably, break or get lost.

And then there's the opportunity cost of living without ‘everywhere charging’. Have you ever missed that all-important call or run out of juice when shooting a video of your kids or watching a favorite movie? In today's world, keeping your mobile devices charged is no longer a nice-to-have. Staying in touch for work, handling emergencies smoothly, being there for your loved ones when they need you - these are the promises of today's communications.

We knew it was time for something better.

solution

MAGFAST is:

  • Designed to be best in class for each charger, power bank and cable individually
  • A truly integrated family of wireless chargers and power banks
  • Engineered to work consistently, reliably, every time, for years to come
  • Designed in every detail to be elegant as well as functional

MAGFAST Lux, a newer member of our product family, is already Amazon’s highest-rated charging cable. Lux launched in August 2022 on Indiegogo, a leading global crowdfunding platform, and raised over $900,000 in a month.

Super premium, super stylish and super durable – and with a gorgeous, soft and silky feel – there’s a lot to love about Lux. Available as USB-C to USB-C (now standard on most modern devices) or MFi-certified USB-C to Lightning for Apple fans – it comes with an array of features which make it unique, like a custom USB-A adapter, gold-plated tips and Fingerprint® anti-counterfeit technology.

Lux’s Teflon® core makes it so tough that it comes with a Lifetime Warranty … which is why Lux is the last charging cable you’ll ever buy.

MAGFAST Pro Kit is our bundle of six chargers, by far the most popular choice of our early pre-order customers. It can't absolutely guarantee you will never miss another important call, but with MAGFAST you’ll always have the mobile power you need, for work, for play, and in an emergency.

The MAGFAST family is designed for durability, to take the real knocks of real life and to last for years to come. Pro Kit will charge your older devices from the past decade and the new devices coming up for the next decade.

The problem with traditional power banks has always been that they’re so inconvenient to get power in and to get power out! Every MAGFAST product has multiple ways of getting power IN, and multiple ways of getting power OUT.

Thanks to our micro-magnet based patent-pending system every device features MAGFAST Snap-to-Charge. So Wall can instantly charge Road, and Road can charge Life, and Life can charge Air and …

And because the MAGFAST Pro Kit has a powerful charger for every part of your life, it’s the perfect mobile communications power kit. For example, Extreme can charge multiple devices simultaneously, multiple times, and can jump-start up to two dozen cars. Road is both a battery pack and an emergency flashlight.

With MAGFAST in your home, your car, your office and your backpack, you're all set.

Individually, each product is designed to be best in class. As a family, nothing else comes close.

MAGFAST Heathrow, launched in March 2023, is our newest product line. A family of luxury luggage, Heathrow combines supreme style with consummate capability.

The Heathrow range of suitcases is sculpted from a strong, lightweight aircraft-grade anodized aluminum-magnesium alloy, corrugated for extra durability. Corners are triple layered and quad riveted. Every case has a custom lasered nameplate and vegan-leather handles on the outside. On the inside, a sleek designer liner and dual premium stowage chambers with mesh pockets for airflow.

The superstrong, supersmooth spinner wheels and handsome handles are travel tough for the bumps and knocks of all your upcoming trips - and easily repaired or replaced.

Every Heathrow luggage set includes the eCarry-On, MAGFAST’s radical solution for power on the move. eCarry-On’s unique Safe Enclave™ holds your Extreme power bank securely out of harm’s way, and keeps it instantly, always available for charging, or airport security.

The available Toughcover™ snaps onto Extreme for great looks and even greater protection.

business model

In official business-speak, our business model is DTC: direct to consumer.

We find our customers directly - through online advertising and a long-form presentation that explains the product range - and then nurture everyone who chooses to become part of the family.

In business-speak, our business model is DTC: Direct to Consumer.

We attract potential customers in three different but complementary ways, through:

  • Online advertising and a long-form presentation that introduces the full MAGFAST product range.
  • Online advertising and an invitation to purchase or pre-order products from store.magfast.com.
  • Amazon: currently featuring Lux – Amazon’s highest-rated charging cable. We plan to introduce more products from the range over time.

Watch MAGFAST’s unique online pre-order experience that has driven over $16 million in sales and pre-orders. Here is a transcript of the presentation.

However people may choose to transact with MAGFAST, we’re committed to nurturing everyone who chooses to become part of the family.

Through superior customer care, regular communication, integrated snap-to-charge products and the announcement of new products and new markets, we believe excellent growth is possible, with strong levels of repeat business and a lifetime value per customer perhaps 2-3X the initial order value.

MAGFAST has a slate of exciting but still top-secret designs. Expect to see product launches in the coming years to a large and growing existing customer base.

The MAGFAST family of chargers and power banks takes advantage of the very latest Qi wireless technology to offer a unique system of charging solutions. However, our homes and workplaces are still full of older devices that don’t incorporate wireless charging … and we try to keep them powered with cheap, nasty cables that constantly fail.

And so MAGFAST developed Lux! A super quality, super elegant, super strong charging cable, with a gorgeous, soft and silky feel, it's a world away from the poor quality, unreliable charging cables you’ve been using for years. It’s so well made, it comes with a Lifetime Warranty … which is why we say it’s the only charging cable you’ll ever buy.

It’s available in two formats: USB-C to USB-C (USB-C is now standard on most modern devices) and USB-C to Lightning for all Apple fans — and comes with an array of features below which make Lux cables genuinely unique, like a custom USB-A adapter, gold-plated tips and Fingerprint® anti-counterfeit technology.

We believe that, with Lux, we’ve built the finest device-charging cables that money can buy.

market

The charger market is big. Very big.

While analysts don’t all agree on quite how big, they do agree that the market is huge and growing fast. For example, in a report published by IMARC Group, the global battery charger market reached a value of US$ 21.7 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 34.1 billion by 2026. The wireless charger segment alone is estimated to have breakneck annual growth of up to 25% [2].

And, unlike most mature consumer markets, there are really no great charger brands.

Competitors include Belkin, Anker, Aukey, Mophie, RAVPower, Duracell, iClever, EasyAcc, Samsung, Xiaomi, Monoprice. Lesser-known (in the U.S. and elsewhere) brands include Aibocn, Boscov, Bestek, Yoobao, iMuto, Maxxima, Moshi, Native Union, Nimble [3]. The market is highly fragmented, with no large companies primarily dedicated to charging, and several smaller companies jockeying to differentiate themselves based on minor feature differences (improved build quality, marginally larger batteries, slightly faster charging times, etc).

To our knowledge, no other charger company yet offers an integrated system of products that all work seamlessly together, or any equivalent to snap-to-charge. MAGFAST’s product range and business model are designed to be considerably more ‘sticky’ than competitive chargers and power banks.

And we believe that no other charger brand has the vision or marketing skill to launch unique, premium charging products that can integrate across markets, from charging cables to power banks to travel goods, and have the potential to dominate in each sector.

To our knowledge, no-one else is playing in the ‘ecosystem’ segment we’ve created. It won’t last forever, but we have a distinct first-mover advantage.

We expect repeat orders and a strong lifetime customer value for these reasons:

  • Products that work together as a system provide an excellent incentive to buy additional units in the same family of devices.
  • MAGFAST is one of the first companies in the space to adopt the ‘direct-to-consumer’ (DTC) model comprehensively. This gives us the advantage of a much closer relationship with prospects and customers: we currently communicate on a weekly and monthly basis about progress, special offers and new opportunities.

Now we are shipping products from our range, we are able to take a major slice of this substantial and highly lucrative market. This is particularly true as those products are receiving positive feedback from customers and journalists. However, we need to expand our ability to both manufacture and ship additional products within our range, as rapidly as possible, and this is the primary reason why this share offering is important. We believe an improved cash position will arm us with negotiating power to cut the cost of goods, speed development and engineering, and to invest in inventory – major direct impacts on our competitive positioning and market share.

progress

The company has made major progress in the following areas:

  • Product development: many thousands of pre-order customers have now received products and we continue to ramp shipping as rapidly as we can.
  • Marketing: our customer acquisition model, as evidenced by over $16 million in pre-orders, is comprehensively proven
  • Operations: our systems are built to scale
  • Customer care: response times are consistently well above industry norms
  • Intellectual property: the founder has developed a robust portfolio of patents and trademarks

Design, development, engineering and manufacturing are handled by a highly experienced team led by our chief operating officer, responsible for more than 30 products over the past 25 years.

Our manufacturing partner is P3 International, a US-based manufacturer in New York with partners in Asia. Completing product engineering for the product family has taken much longer than expected, impacted in part by our lack of negotiating power and the effects of COVID-19. Production status [4] is regularly updated at www.MAGFAST.com/status.

It’s a core competency for MAGFAST. A small team is led by the company’s CEO, a gifted online marketing expert, a CMO with over 25 years of building consumer and B2B brands, and a digital-marketing head with unique experience in building return on advertising spend (ROAS) for consumer products. MAGFAST marketing is currently 100% online, primarily in the form of targeted ads on Facebook and YouTube. A sophisticated marketing funnel, built over five years by an in-house team in collaboration with experienced external agencies, is monitored and refined constantly.

Towards the end of last year, we recruited a full-time, highly experienced head of digital marketing to optimize the effectiveness of our significant online advertising spend. We are already seeing a promising uplift in advertising returns, with lead-generation costs falling and conversion rates rising. Given the substantial sums we allocate to customer acquisition activity, we expect that these enhancements will have a meaningful impact on MAGFAST’s progress towards profitability.

New online ads are made and released regularly and tested in different market segments; each month’s learning is fed into new creative, constantly refining format, benefits and content. Ad respondents typically attend a webinar offering pre-order pricing. Show interest by registering for an online event or other promotional activity and you become part of the MAGFAST marketing ecosystem. A program of customer relationship marketing kicks in to provide information and guidance to purchase.

MAGFAST’s direct-to-consumer model affords us a much closer relationship to prospects and customers than traditional consumer electronics manufacturers using conventional wholesale and retail outlets as their path to market.

The company has been based since inception on a virtual workforce, with team members working remotely in the U.S. and other countries, and a comprehensive suite of online technologies designed to scale. MAGFAST.com has been built to handle high traffic volumes reliably and fast.

All pages of the site are cached on Google’s Cloud Platform which can serve millions of users simultaneously, and the event experience and checkout process (a customized experience for every visitor) use JavaScript to offload the bulk of the computing to the visitor’s browser. Remember, our systems handled $1/4 million in under 15 minutes on the very first day MAGFAST was launched . . .

At MAGFAST, we think a little differently. We hired Sanja, a former lawyer, for customer care because at her interview she aced the question ‘What’s customer care all about?’ with the one word answer: ‘Serotonin’. Keeping our customer happy is the whole game, which is why 9/10 are sticking with us on this long development journey. Today she runs the department, which boasts response times around twice the industry average.

MAGFAST is laser focused on customer care as a key part of building long-term relationships with a large and growing group of supporters. We've devoted a big slice of our time to figuring out how to keep customers happy without draining cash: our team has developed “Intelligent Customer Support” that allows us to keep a big-hearted personal touch while drastically cutting the time it takes to answer every support ticket. Our customer care team is also geographically distributed around the globe to enable near round-the-clock support.

The growing portfolio of patents and trademarks relating to the MAGFAST product range is used by the company under exclusive, royalty-free license from the inventor, Seymour Segnit. According to the terms of the license agreement, title to the licensed materials is automatically assigned to the new controlling entity in the event of a change of control.

We project significant growth both through repeat orders from existing customers and the development of new markets. Current and future initiatives include:

  • A follow-up campaign shortly after initial inquiry recalls features and benefits for prospects who did not purchase.
  • Ongoing communications allow MAGFAST to build its relationship with customers, cover product and production updates, and make special offers.
  • The ongoing release of brand-new products featuring snap-to-charge.
  • The release of international variants allowing us to address markets in the EU, UK, Asia and beyond.

[2.1] In their report titled ‘USB Cable Market ... : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031,’ Allied Market Research considers that ‘The global USB cable market was valued at $12.73 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $69.86 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 20.24% from 2022 to 2031.’

[2.2] Prudour indicates in their research report titled ‘Global Premium Luggage Market Research Report 2022 (Status and Outlook)’ that ‘The Premium Luggage Market is estimated to be USD 48.55 Billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 76.8 Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.4%.’

[3] This is a cross sample of competitors from our own observations and represented in market research published by third parties. Competitors vary by region.

[4] At this early manufacturing stage, our full family of products may be represented in our materials by production and pre-production units, along with hand-made prototypes, animations and CAD 3D renderings.

[5] Amy and Seymour Segnit were previously the owners of thingCHARGER, Inc. which shipped over 1⁄4 million units of thingCHARGERs based on that company’s records, before thingCHARGER, Inc. ran out of funds. MAGFAST Wall is an updated version of thingCHARGER. Rights to key thingCHARGER assets were purchased by Amy and Seymour when they started MAGFAST.

[6] If you choose to make your investment using a credit card, Netcapital will charge you a card processing fee that’s typically slightly more than 3%. Netcapital can answer your questions about this fee.

[7] MAGFAST is a Limited Liability Company (LLC). LLCs have considerable flexibility in the language used to define their ownership and governance. Instead of 'members' and 'units', MAGFAST has chosen to use terminology that we believe is more readily understood: for example, managing members may be referenced in our materials as MAGFAST’s board of directors, and members as stockholders.
