John Goscha is no ordinary entrepreneur. He is also an inventor who has come up with some of this century’s most innovative products. Like many of today’s up and coming entrepreneurs and CEOs, Goscha started young, but what sets him apart from the rest of this generation’s entrepreneurs are the products that he has invented and developed.
His company Finally Light Bulb Company created and developed a new type of lighting technology that replicates the warmth and aesthetic design of incandescent bulbs, but without the hefty price tag and wasted energy. This new lighting technology is not based on the CFL and LED lightings we are used to is called Acandescence and it uses up only 25% of the energy used up by incandescent lighting.
Goscha was born in Littleton, Colorado in 1984 and has been dabbling in business since his high school years. At the age of 16, he had already founded his first company, Goscha Golf, from his parent’s garage. He designed golf clubs that used lightweight aluminum and silicon fibers instead of titanium. The golf clubs also had an adjustable weighting system which golfers can use to adjust the club’s sweet spot. He sold these clubs online through his own website.
While earning a degree in Economics and Entrepreneurship at Babson College, Goscha founded another company. This new company called IdeaPaint produced paint that could turn any flat wall or smooth surface into a dry-erase board. Today, IdeaPaint is available in major retail outlets in over 20 countries all over the world and have been used to paint the offices of more than 75,000 organizations across the globe.
Goscha’s achievements both as a businessman and inventor have earned him recognition not only by the design industry, but by business media such as Forbes, BusinessWeek, and Inc. Magazine.
