Surprisingly, it is an invention of two law students.
Have you heard of SO-BOX? The product will surely very soon attract great attention. Behind it are two 20-year-old students of the Faculty of Law in Rijeka, Emil Živković and Domagoj Krakan. Emil and Domagoj have launched their own startup company and created a unique product SO-BOX, reports Poslovni.hr on June 30, 2016.
“It is a wide-application charger for mobile phones. It can be used in the hospitality industry, but also at other public spaces. We have designed and created the product on our own. Currently, we offer two types of design, and our intention is to get to the point where the product is found on every coffee shop table so that the users can have a free and easy access to charging cell phones”, said Emil, adding that the product has a lot of potential. The interest in their charger exists abroad as well, so they are preparing a certain number of units for export.
“In Croatia, we are currently taking pre-orders, and we are in contact with several of our major companies. The product can be entirely adapted to client’s wishes when it comes to its design. Therefore, every sponsor or restaurant can have a unique design”, the young investors explained.
But, how is it that the two law students have come up with a project like this? Emil responds with a laugh. “People ask us that all the time. This is what the students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering usually do. But, like all other students, we spend a lot of time in cafes and the idea of SO-BOX charger actually came out of need. In addition, we also saw that many people look for sockets at coffee shops. After the first prototype, we came across a Chinese version that is being used over there, in China. We received an offer related to imports and partnership, but we declined because the product had many flaws, it was too big and of low quality. We further modified our existing prototype and perfected it to the smallest detail”, the young men explained.
Their product is also unique as it offers the highest capacity and easily adapts to user’s preferences.
