Disclosure: I will be sent a ChargerGenie come October when they begin shipping, as a thank you for supporting and sharing more about this mom invented product and its Indiegogo.com campaign. All views shared, however, are mine and mine alone.
Have you heard of Indiegogo.com? If not, and you love support entrepreneurs and their products, then this is a site you will want to check out. I check out the website every couple of weeks to see what new inventions people are coming up with, in hopes others out their will take the chance and invest in them. This site reminds of the show on television, Shark Tank, where venture capitalists hear stories from entrepreneurs and decide whether or not they want to invest their money in their product. While I don't have the $$$ like the sharks do, I do love support fellow entrepreneurs, and watching their dreams become a reality, once they reach the capital they are requesting, and can continue on in the production/roll out phase of their products/services.
While browsing Indiegogo.com a couple of weeks ago, I came across a unique product, the ChargerGenie. As I was watching the video about the product, which features the mom inventor, Jeannie DeSanctis, I thought to myself, why didn't I think of this. :-) I can't tell you how many times I have traveled for work and pleasure and found myself, just like Jeannie DeSanctis, carrying along a Ziploc bag full of charges and adapters, so that I could charge all my tech gadgets. And, I think hotels like to stress you out, by not having enough outlets available to charge all your gadgets. For me, I will have my phone charging beside the bed in one outlet, my iPad next to the television charging in another, and then my computer, iPod, and other gadgets I bring along for the trip, charging where else -- but, in the bathroom. Then, I have to make a point to jot down a reminder note, so that I pick up each item before checkout. On a few occasions, I forgot to get my iPod that I had charging next to the window in a hotel, and had to call and see if someone turned it in. No such luck on each occasion -- so, I had to invest again in this product.
I knew that I wasn't alone in this frustration, as I continually talk to other moms, bloggers and business travelers, who always seem to have more tech gadgets that need to be charged all at once, than there are outlets for. And, as I watched this video about ChargeGenie, I liked how Jeannie DeSanctis brought up the point that this charging tote would come in handy for teens away at college. I hadn't thought of this, as I have been out of school for over 10 yrs. now, and back then we only had a few gadgets...our laptops, phones, and maybe an iPod to charge. But, I do remember back to those when I shared a dorm room with a roommate and only had one wall with 2 outlets on it to use -- which I used to plug in a telephone, refrigerator, desk lamp and clock.
So, what is the ChargerGenie, and how could it come in handy for you, those who travel in your family, and for your teens who will be living away at college? Here is more information, as well as the video I watched, that shows the ChargeGenie up close, gives a little bit more background on this innovative tote, and introduces you to Jeannie DeSanctis, the business woman and mom behind this amazing invention:
“As a traveling technology executive and a busy mom, I always had trouble finding enough outlets in airports and hotel rooms to charge multiple devices,” said Jeannie DeSanctis, the inventor of ChargerGenie and CEO of TakeCharger. “With ChargerGenie, I created a bag and power strip combo that solves this problem and more. It not only charges multiple devices on the go, it also organizes and stores them, creating a low-tech solution for today’s high-tech lifestyles.”
ChargerGenie,
which is currently available in three colors (black, red or pink cheetah),
looks like a fashion tote but features a “secret weapon” -- six power outlets
and two USB ports distributed around the lower perimeter of the bag. In the
base of the bag, there is a cord that powers ChargerGenie and can be stored
inside when not in use.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the industry leader in safety certification, has certified ChargerGenie in the US and Canada. UL considered ChargerGenie so unique and confirmed that it had never seen anything like it before. As a result the organization created new testing and amendments specifically for ChargerGenie.

Like they say, most entrepreneurs create products out of necessity, and Jeannie DeSanctis did just that. Not only was she looking for a way to make her life easier, in turn, her ChargerGenie will make so many other people's lives that much easier, either at home or on the go, when outlets are scarce and there is a need for multiple charging outlets.
