Here’s a brief overview of Akeem’s story:

After losing his full scholarship to Howard University to study chemical engineering, Akeem Shannon was determined to out-earn his friends, who would graduate from university in less than 3 years. Akeem found great success as a salesperson at two large telecom companies before being recruited into one of the large fintech companies, Square. As he worked with 100's of small businesses, that entrepreneurial itch kept growing inside him. 

In the fall of 2017 while on a late-night call with his Uncle, a NASA engineer, he learned of a reusable adhesive NASA had researched in the 70s. Within a few short months, he created the Flipstik, taught himself to write a patent and trademarks, and launched his business on Kickstarter in 2018. Flipstik has seen incredible growth in 2 years, with over $300k in sales, winning 1st place at the 2019 CES Retail Pitch competition by TechStars, Impressing Sean “Diddy” Combs & Snoop Dogg with our technology, and content creators nationwide after appearing on Shark Tank.
