It’s strange to think back on how it all began. If you'd asked me a few
years ago if I’d be running my own tech accessories startup, I would’ve
laughed. I mean, I never imagined I’d be where I am today, fighting tooth
and nail just to keep my dream alive. But here I am—founder of Vibe Tech
Accessories, a brand that, against all odds, is beginning to make a mark
on the world. And trust me, it wasn’t easy getting here.I’ve always been
the kind of person who’s obsessed with how things work. Growing up, I was
the kid who took apart my dad’s old gadgets, always trying to figure out
what made them tick—sometimes successfully, sometimes not. I didn’t have
the traditional "entrepreneurial spirit" that some people talk about. I
wasn’t one of those kids who set up lemonade stands or tried to sell rocks
in the schoolyard.
When I first met Ashton Potter, I didn’t know what to expect. He was
passionate, driven, but there was something about Vibe Tech Accessories
that wasn’t fully clicking. At the time, Ashton had this incredible
product vision—tech accessories that weren’t just functional, but also
personal and stylish. But he was struggling to get the right
traction.Ashton’s vision was there, but I helped guide it into a reality.
And as Vibe Tech started to pick up steam, I felt more and more like we
were building something that could truly change the game.
I’ll be honest—when I first started working with Ashton and Coyote, I was
a bit skeptical. I had seen so many startups crash and burn, and I didn’t
want to jump into something that wasn’t going to last. But there was
something about Vibe Tech that caught my attention. I don’t think Ashton
realized just how much of the company’s survival depended on getting the
technology right in those early days. It wasn’t just about pretty
products—it was about building a solid foundation so everything else could
grow.What I didn’t always get was the recognition for my work. Ashton was
the face of the brand, and Coyote was the dealmaker—people saw them and
credited them. But that’s just part of the game in a startup.
