Our Story

Our team was born out of the Eller College of Management New Venture Development Program at the University of Arizona. Individually, we each knew that we wanted to make a difference through the function of entrepreneurship.

 

We quickly found that we shared a passion for video gaming -- both as an outlet to pass time and, to spur our competitive spirits. When Newton brought forth a concept for a next-generation gaming and productivity mouse, we all knew we had something special. Within 6 months, we had our hands on an early prototype and we were hooked by the promise it held.

 

Our team committed fully to the idea and intention that we could open doors to new gaming experiences and craft a product that creates new ways of interacting with any game -- broadening the world of competitive gaming.

 

We've been chasing that idea ever since and we are really excited for the GRAV mouse to create the same impact for a community we are passionate about!
