Introduction

MAGFAST [1] is a direct-to-consumer electronics company. We design and manufacture a family of premium charging products that snap together magnetically, charge wirelessly, and support every device from every brand. Each MAGFAST charger and power bank is uniquely powerful and flexible in its own right, even more so as part of an integrated system.

Each individual MAGFAST product is designed to compete as best in its class, to bring customers into the ‘family’ when they’re buying for a specific need. To date the vast majority of our chargers have however been pre-ordered in our MAGFAST Family Pro Kit bundle of 6 chargers.

Deal Highlights

MAGFAST is changing charging for good:

  • 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. A family, because, like all good families, they work together.
  • We know there’s a huge demand and our customer-acquisition model is proven: we test launched MAGFAST in 2017 and pre-orders totaled over $250,000 in under 15 minutes, over $600,000 in the first 24 hours. Higher-end consumers have to-date placed pre-orders worth over $9M and we are on track for nearly $10M in pre-orders by the end of 2020.
  • 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!
Apple - Magfast
OK, so it's not, forgive us, an apples to apples comparison… but we’re very proud of the massive market validation when we first revealed our vision to the world!
“I just wanted to state how awesome and amazing you guys truly are. I'm extremely excited about your products and I've been telling everyone I know about it. Not only is your product awesome but your team is awesome. I could watch you guys talk about your product all day. Thank you for showing us insight on your tremendous accomplishments.”
- Ryan Foreman, Show Review

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 in our home: those messy and missing cables that end up all over the floor or in a drawer or back pocket somewhere (but which floor, which drawer, which pocket??)

Problem
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 that get lost.

And then there's the 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 up 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.

“I have been working with the MAGFAST family for some time now. Amy & Seymour are true business professionals and solid great people. Keep up the great work MAGFAST!”

Solution

MAGFAST is:

  • Designed to be best in class for each charger and power bank individually
  • The ONLY wireless-magnetic family of chargers and power banks
  • Engineered to work, consistently, reliably, every time, for years to come
  • Designed down the tiniest detail to be elegant as well as functional
Magfast

MAGFAST Pro Kit is our bundle of six chargers, and the most popular choice of our pre-order customers. It can't absolutely guarantee you will never miss another important call, but with MAGFAST the chances are 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 both in and out of! Every MAGFAST product has multiple ways of getting power in. And multiple ways of getting power out. Easy to charge up. Easy to charge with.

Every MAGFAST device snaps to charge... so Wall can instantly charge Road and Road can charge Life and Life can charge Air and …

Every MAGFAST power bank comes with an awesome, fast, built-in, replaceable, patent-pending mini cables.

Because MAGFAST is wireless, you’ll just grab your phone or tablet as you run out the door. Because of the magic of magnets, you’ll also grab your MAGFAST power bank snapped magnetically onto Wall or another MAGFAST device.

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 a future emergency, with the perfect “let me give you a hand” battery packs. Extreme can charge multiple devices simultaneously, multiple times, or could 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.

“I’m being treated as if I am a million dollar investor… and I just happened to love your ideas.”

Business Model

In official business-speak, our business model is direct to consumer (DTC or D2C).

In more straightforward language, we find our customers directly - through online advertising and a long-form webinar that explains the product range - and then we embrace and pamper everyone who chooses to become part of the family.

Webinar

Watch MAGFAST’s unique online pre-order experience that has driven nearly $10 million in pre-orders. Here is a transcript of the presentation.

Until the product range ships (early 2021), all receipts are pre-order crowdfunding.

Once crowdfunding orders are fulfilled, ongoing DTC sales will be supplemented by Amazon (FBA) as our initial channel partner.

Through superior customer service, 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.

Business model
MAGFAST has a slate of exciting but still top-secret designs. They will be launched in 2021 and beyond to a large and growing existing customer base.
“MAGFAST is by far one of the most honest companies I have ever worked with. They are also very loyal. Their communication skills are above and beyond. I am truthfully enjoying my partnership with MAGFAST! I predict a long and successful working relationship with this company. My hat is off to you MAGFAST!”
- William Provost, BBB Review

Market

The charger market is big. Very big.

While analysts don’t agree on quite how big, they agree that the market is huge and growing fast. By some estimates, our global total addressable market for wireless chargers and power banks could exceed $40 billion by mid-decade. The wireless charger segment alone is estimated to have breakneck annual growth of up to 30% [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).

No charger company 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.

Product strategy
To our knowledge, no-one else is playing in the ‘system’ 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.

A major slice of the charger market is simply not available to us until we are beyond the pre-order phase and able to ship immediately. Most customers need a product that ships today for use tomorrow. Others need to see product reviews from journalists and users. These are primary reasons why this share offering is important. 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.

“I have had many dealings with crowdfunding companies, MAGFAST has been the absolutely best in their transparency and updates with their clients. Quick and almost immediate follow up by both digital and voice (real person) response(s). Any questions or requests have been dealt with promptness and professionalism.”
- Robert Toane, BBB Review

Progress

The company has made major progress in the following areas:

  • Product development: engineering is complete for most products in the range, tooling starts imminently, and shipments will then start on a predictable timetable in the coming months
  • Marketing: our customer acquisition model, as evidenced by nearly $10M in pre-orders, is comprehensively proven
  • Operations: our systems are built to scale
  • Customer service: response times and satisfaction levels are consistently well above industry norms
  • Intellectual property: the founder has developed a robust portfolio of patents and trademarks

Product development

Design, development, engineering and manufacturing are handled by a highly experienced team led by our chief operating officer, responsible for 34 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.

Marketing

A core competency for MAGFAST. A small team is led by the company’s CEO, a gifted online marketing expert. MAGFAST marketing is currently 100% online, primarily in the form of targeted ads on Facebook and YouTube. A sophisticated marketing funnel, built over three years by an in-house team in collaboration with an experienced agency, is monitored and refined constantly.

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-shipping (crowdfunding) pricing. Once a prospect has shown interest by registering for an online event or other promotional activity.

MAGFAST’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) 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.

Operations/IT

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 from scratch in 2017 - no legacy code – in order 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 10 minutes on the first day …

Sanja Cebalovic

At MAGFAST, we think a little differently. We hired Sanja, a former lawyer, for customer service because at her interview she aced the question ‘What’s customer service all about?’. Keeping our customer’s happy is the whole game, which is why 9/10 are sticking with us on this long development journey. Today she runs the department.

Customer service

MAGFAST is laser focused on customer service 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 service team is also geographically distributed around the globe to enable around-the-clock support.

Intellectual property

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.

Growth plans

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

  • A seven-day 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.
  • A distinctive new form of product-referral program.
  • An innovative retail charger and power-bank rental system.
“The world of charging your mobile devices is about to change! More power, more options, and more convenience along with great design and dedication looks to make the mag fast charger one of the best on the market!”

Press

“My Goodness, What a very special company! By accident one day a couple of months ago, I was intrigued by the ad that Seymour, the owner, had posted on Facebook inviting everyone to a special video about the company having developed a new business and forthcoming product line. So, I took him up on it, and fell in love "head over heels". The products, now in the beginning stage of production, are for sure have never been seen or produced by anybody, or any consumer. An exquisite line of accessories for all of your charging devices. Seymour and his team has asked for early investors so that they can continue producing the very best of its kind, and from what I can see, it's going to happen. Seymour has taken meticulous amounts of time to cover every single detail in the production of each of his items. They have used such imagination, artistry, and creativity, much of which I've never seen in all of my 73 years on this earth...”
