"Picture this: a dozen gearheads with a passion for road trips and remote desert treks find themselves stuck in the middle of nowhere, thanks to another flaky emergency jump starter. You're hundreds of miles from the nearest town, your battery's dead, and help? Not coming anytime soon. That's when they realized-if the market won't give you a power solution that actually works, build one yourself."
"Most emergency jump starters back then were cheap for a reason-cut corners, poor design, and lifespans shorter than a weekend getaway. That didn't sit right with this crew. These were guys who appreciated the aesthetics of nature and the engineering of great tech. So they hit the lab, tracked down reliable suppliers one by one, and fought through countless rounds of negotiation to raise the bar."
"Enter the Alpha85, a 170+ component marvel that required over 30 manufacturers to make it happen. It didn't just catch attention-it exploded, earning shout-outs from Kickstarter and Indiegogo, winning international design awards like the 2021 GOOD DESIGN AWARD and Bronze Award of the IDEA, and racking up over 13,000 Amazon reviews with a near-95% positive rating. With tens of thousands of users across more than 10 countries, Hulkman set its sights even higher-to become the go-to name in advanced clean energy for real-world adventure."
A dozen gearheads frustrated by unreliable emergency jump starters designed and built a robust alternative. They engineered the Alpha85, a 170+ component device produced by over 30 manufacturers, achieving crowdfunding recognition, international design awards (2021 GOOD DESIGN AWARD, Bronze IDEA), and over 13,000 Amazon reviews with about a 95% positive rating. Tens of thousands of users in more than ten countries adopted the product. The company then shifted focus to developing a portable power station purpose-built for adventure, emphasizing durability in extreme temperatures and stable output to protect sensitive equipment like drones and cameras.
