Startup Spotlight: Foxfire & LumAware

Zachary Green CEO/Founder 

Founded by a firefighter who witnessed the dangers that occur during unexpected blackouts, MN8 Foxfire develops photo luminescent (glow in the dark) products to help firefighters reduce disorientation and increase accountability. The company started by making accessories that firefighters could use on their tools and equipment to help them navigate through dark and smoke-filled environments. Foxfire products are used by more than 60,000 firefighters in more than 25 countries.  These eco-friendly, zero-energy products are used in major sports arenas and high-rise buildings to increase safety in the event of a blackout or power failure. This advanced technology, previously available only to firefighters, is now available to all people protected by firefighters.
