Company Summary

We vend a product that everyone uses and demands, and we get it for free. The number of cell phones in the US out numbers the population and every single one of those has a battery, that dies. Phones simply can not keep up with our professional and personal phone usage, which is frustrating and often inconvenient. We provide the solution with secure charging phone boxes that charge 95% of devices in the market while safely locked away.

Team

  • Lauren Jade Martin
    CEO

    A former student-athlete at The University of Alabama & entrepreneurship student at St.Edwards University. While working as a bartender, she was fed up with customers asking her to charge their phones, so she sketched out a charging station with lockers on bar receipt paper one night at work. It was all she could think about and soon left school to work full time to fund and develop what would eventually become Phox Inc.
