1. Mobile Pixels ($12M/year)

Jack Yao, the founder of Mobile Pixels Inc, came up with the idea for their business while interning at Amazon and working in a co-working space. Frustrated with the limited screen space on his laptop, he wished for a portable monitor that could expand from the back of the main display. Yao and his roommate Stephen prototyped the idea and successfully raised $1.5 million in presales through a Kickstarter/IndieGoGo campaign. Their product, the Duex monitor, generated $4.3 million in sales in 2019 and is projected to reach $12 million in sales for 2020.
