Ever been on the street, in the middle of a important phone call, with your battery running dangerously low. It’s to late to go into a public place to charge and you don’t have a charger on you. Hugo Timouth and Hakeem Buge had the solution. A portable charging station that act as power bank vending machine across the United Kingdom. With the idea, that you charge your phone with the charger, then return it to the next vending machine closest by. CEO and Founder of Charged Up, Hugo Timouth previously studied renewable Energy Engineering. Hugo used some of his knowledge on this subject to invest into his startup of Charged Up. Hugo like many entrepreneurs used his knowledge and interest in a set subject to channel into a business, where a set problem was. Most people know that the low battery of their phone is problem, most just didn’t know how to fix it. This innovative technology is something to keep an eye in the future. As with most successful businesses, Charged Up decided to innovate during the tough times of the pandemic. Charged Up decided to switch from portable chargers, to hand sanitizer stations. Hugo wanted to help people during tough times, the best way he knew he could. We as Christian entrepreneurs need to use Charged Up as an example to us all. Making the best of each situation , by helping those that need to be helped. Help those that cannot help themselves, while using our entrepreneurship skills to make a profit. Charged Up saw a problem, addressed it, adapted to the next problem that was thrown. Your environment plays such a large role in how your business is affected. The pandemic created extreme losses for the majority of companies who couldn’t adapt to their situation. Charged Up was not one of those companies.
This is such a convenient product! I would definitely make use of something like this if they offered them near us. I really like how they changed their business in a way that would positively impact so many people. You are completely right, we as Christians should be inspired by this action. Thanks for sharing!
I would definitely buy this product. Its supper innovative and creative.
This product is so neat! Its amazing how they innovated in such a rough time. They really found a problem(s) and found a good way to fix it.
This is such a good example of a great entrepreneur. Hugo used his skill assets and saw a problem that had a gap in the market. It’s also interesting to hear how he pivoted and adapted to the next problem based on the situation of COVID. He also created an impact with his product which makes him a great entrepreneur as well.
This is a great idea that I have honestly never thought of. The ability to grab a power bank on the go is extremely convenient considering you will not need one when you are in an indoor setting. These would be cool to see around the United States as Americans are addicted to their phones and would have an easier, cheaper solution, rather than having to maintain their own power bank.
This is super helpful! I definitely would use this if I had it. It’s interesting how he saw the pandemic as an opportunity to create a product that’s useful and in demand.
