BOSS StrongBox Raising Funds For Gold Star Teen Adventures

Tuesday, June 5th, 2018

BOSS StrongBox will be hosting an fundraiser raffle online with a goal to raise over $5,000 for Gold Star Teen Adventures; a non-profit whose mission is to provide healing, mentor-ship, development, and opportunity to the children of Special Operations Service Members who lost their lives in the line of duty.

Gold Star Teen Adventures was started by Kent Solheim, a Special Operations Service Member who was seriously wounded in combat in Iraq in 2007, ultimately losing his right leg. Kent’s experiences on his road to recovery inspired the creation of Gold Star Teen Adventures. Kent, a father of two, realized that if he had not made it home, he would have still wanted his children to know the brotherhood of the Special Operations community that he had grown to love, and to share the adventures that his career had permitted him to do.

BOSS StrongBox has teamed up with other leading brands to provide over 20 different prizes with a total retail value of over $5,000.  Ranging from Pelican Cases to Streamlight TLR, Blac-Rac Weapon Retention Systems, Gerber Multi-Tools and more, there will be plenty of great prizes to win.

With raffle tickets selling for only $10 each, it won’t cost you much for a chance to win.

At the end of the day, it’s all about the cause and doing what we can to help support programs like Gold Star Teen Adventures and give back to the families who have served our country and ultimately gave their lives for our freedom.

The fundraiser starts June 1st and will run through the month, ending June 29th.  You’ll want to follow along on Instagram (@BossStrongBox) to get updates and watch the live raffle take place at the end of the month (note: you won’t have to watch live to win, if you’re name is pulled we’ll contact you).

KOTA Longboards Launches Equity Crowdfunding Campaign

Wednesday, April 4th, 2018

Denver, CO: KOTA Longboards, a custom longboard manufacturer, announces the launch of a WeFunder Campaign to secure and expand market reach in the US Action Sports Market.

KOTA Longboards started in the Spring of 2012, out of the Founders garage and has expanded into an 10,000 sq ft factory in Denver, Colorado. KOTA has steadily refined it’s processes and reach nationally through direct to consumer sales, co-brand relationships such as Anheuser Busch, Wounded Warrior Project and many others and through deliberate expansion into brand-centric, national retail options, such as Scheels and Ron Jon Surf Shop.  Repeatedly, KOTA has been featured in iconic publications such as Outside Magazine, Men’s Journal, and Popular Mechanics, KOTA Longboards has created a following of both longboard enthusiasts and those trying the sport for the first time.

KOTA makes longboard skateboards that appeal to the active lifestyle market. Our customer base is atypical for a longboard company because our boards are atypical. Spanning the young professional to the retiree, we provide the right product to attract a clientele to longboarding that would otherwise not skate. We’ve got revenue growth, scalable operations and multiple sales channels (direct, retail and co-brands) to get us to profitability. The market is there, we need capital to go get it,” said KOTA Longboards Founder, Mike Maloney.

Angela Hermann, a KOTA Longboards customer describes her experience stating, “Learning to skateboard has been a dream of mine for many years.  As an adult I finally had the opportunity a few years ago to try longboarding. My KOTA board has provided me the opportunity to experience incredible moments, discover fun downhills in the road, and new places.  Whether on my own or with friends my best days are when I get to take my KOTA out and just fly.”

KOTA’s success to-date is due to innovations such as KOTAgrip, a clear, non-porous durable grip finish that allows both sides of the deck to become a usable art surface. The result is not only a functional piece of art, but a high performance riding experience that allows the skater to ride with confidence without the use of traditional grip tape for the life of the longboard.

In 2017, KOTA spent several months beta testing various combinations of motors, batteries, electronic speed controllers, remotes and other electronics with their decks. They immediately felt that the carving performance, KOTAgrip finish and style of their decks made for an electric deck differ from anything else on the market. They successfully launched their Spitfire MkV in December quickly selling out of their pre-orders. In March 2018, KOTA successfully raised $21,000 in a few days on Kickstarter to expand their access to raw materials and increase delivery times.

KOTA is the only company who can offer a high performance ride, choice of board shape with any KOTA graphic on the top of your eBoard featuring best in class battery, motor and components. With KOTA the eBoard market finally has its complete package!
