Scottsdale-based WildCharge Inc. received high praises in November 2007 from Time magazine, Wall Street Journal and the Consumer Electronics Association for its charge pad that allows consumers to charge multiple phones at once on its pad. The product, the WildCharger, took six years to develop. It uses a small adaptor that is connected to the back of the phone. The phone is then laid on the pad for charging. Up to three phones can be charged at one time. Currently, only Motorola’s RAZR line of phones is set up for the charge pad; however, the company is expanding to Apple and Blackberry phones. Izhar Matzkvich PhD, the president of the company, said that they received a patent in February 2007. The company was founded in 2005 and has 10 employees. In 2007 the company had sales of $100,000 and forecasted sales of $4 million in 2008.
John Laub is the Founder of the CEO-CFO Group.
