Mag-Vest

Mag-Vest

Mag-Vest is the first magnetic tool vest that lets people carry their tools, screws, nuts and bolts from any working position.  Unlike other solutions that have limited compartments or simply get in the way in tight spaces, Mag-Vest(TM) gives complete freedom to move and place tools in any manner.  Founder, Grant Miner, found tool belts were not designed with the user in mind:  “They just don’t hold everything you need so we decided to completely reinvent how you carry your tools.”  Mag-Vest is the first magnetic tool vest. The design gives the wearer complete freedom to place tools wherever they want. “Tools don’t have to get in the way when you are working in a tight space,” Miner says.

The Digital Sandbox funding aided the startup with website development, optimization and other launch-related projects,” says Jeff Shackelford, executive director of Digital Sandbox KC. “This product is for anyone who uses tools so the market is wide open.”

“I am honored, humbled and grateful that Digital Sandbox KC chose to support Mag-Vest(TM) with this incredibly generous grant,” said Grant Miner, inventor/founder.  

Grant Miner completed  UMKC’s E-Scholars program  an intensive entrepreneurial development program offered through the University of Missouri – Kansas City’s Regnier Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.  The program is designed to provide promising entrepreneurs with the support and resources needed to launch scalable and sustainable ventures.  E-Scholars has helped to launch more than 160 ventures since its first graduating class in 2011, ranging from enterprise software to health care services to consumer products.  

Digital Sandbox KC and UMKC partnered together to fund startups coming out of the program.
