Almost 108 people have already contracted this development, in total they donated $ 3 thousand.

The guy came up with a straw while sitting on the couch at home during quarantine. An idea came to him: what if you insert a magnetic system into a metal tube and close it with special plugs on both sides?

He studied the needs of people to calm their nerves during the working day. It turned out that many twist or pull various objects that are nearby in their hands. For example, ballpoint pens.

There was no specialized subject for such purposes. Alex and a small team studied the market. He found out that the production of one tube with a magnet inside in Ukraine will cost $ 4-5.

Last year, the entrepreneur launched two Kickstarter campaigns for The Tube and realized the product could be sold in the US for $ 11.

“90% of buyers are Americans or English-speaking people,” says the entrepreneur.
