Agloves

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Agloves (pronounced “a-gloves”) was an American, privately held winter touchscreen glove company that made gloves which worked on all capacitive touchscreens.[1] The company was based in Boulder, Colorado. Agloves were launched on September 29, 2010.[citation needed] Jennifer Spencer, inventor of the gloves, served as the company’s CEO and President.[2][failed verification] The gloves incorporated silver-nylon yarn to conduct the body's bioelectricity to the touchscreen device.[3][failed verification][4] Agloves won several awards including Best New Product and Best New Company from 2011 Stevie Awards;[5] and the Innovation Quotient Award from the Boulder County Business Report.[6]

As of May 10, 2013, Agloves closed their business for personal reasons.[7]

In August 2014, AGloves' rights and patents were purchased by NY based Prolific Innovations LLC, which continued to bring the AGlove to the marketplace.[citation needed]
