North American e-retailer, Newegg, announced on Wednesday it is teaming up with Indiegogo once again, this time to find the latest and greatest technology innovations.
Newegg’s Gregory Rice revealed in a blog post:
“At Newegg, we love tech. No surprise there, we’ve been drooling over the latest components and home-built PCs since we started in 2001. You know, back when you still cared about having CD-ROM and 3.5” floppy drives on your machine. Well those days are long gone, and since then technology has only gotten better. Everyone at Newegg still loves our gadgets, PC building, and gaming, and there is nothing quite like that first moment when you open the box of a new piece of hardware or electronic device. The anticipation, the joy, and, ah yes, the satisfaction of tearing off the plastic wrap is something that just never gets old.
“One of the reasons I love what I do is being able to discover innovative tech and share it with as many people as possible, which is exactly what Indiegogo is all about. The crowdfunding platform has been helping entrepreneurs bring their inventions to market since 2008, and from them until now raised well over $800 million in funding. Their mission of empowering creators to bring their dreams to reality aligns with the DIY heart of Newegg, so a joint partnership makes natural sense.
“It’s pretty simple, really. We here at Newegg work with Indiegogo to find the latest and greatest tech innovations, from consumer electronics to home automation, automotive electronics and any other area that has a heavy tech focus, and we help the entrepreneur bring their product to our customers. Each one of these companies invested massive time, energy, and capital into bringing their item to market, so we do our best to help them grow, as we are fortunate to have a customer base that is excited about emerging tech trends.”
