Bootstrapping a Magnetic Jetpack from $26 and a Dream

I’m a solo founder building JetEdge and the MagDrive Series, a magnetic-propulsion jetpack that’s quiet, clean, and tether-free. No fuel. No gas. Just magnetic thrust and imagination.

This all started with a $26 trading account, no investors, and a baby brother I wanted to build a legacy for. Every trade I take helps fund my R&D. Every night, I’m sketching propulsion concepts and calculating thrust ratios. I’m obsessed with making sci-fi flight a reality—and doing it solo.

I named the flagship Princeton M1 after my little brother. He reminds me why I’m grinding: to build something that lifts people, literally and figuratively.

This is a long shot, but I’m not here for easy. I’m here to fly.
