Pulze got its start when the founders, Steven and Jeffrey, were in college. They studied late into the night, struggling through endless due dates. They also tried to make genuine attempts at maintaining a social life that proved difficult for the brothers and their smartphones. As soon as they got used to a phone and its workflow, the phone would start lagging. Too many times, a minor mishap at a party would result in the phone’s screen cracking or being doused with water. And they would have to use the rice trick for their phones and wait hours or even a full day for them to fully work.
As frustrating as the lack of durability was, what the brothers found even more aggravating was the fact that even minor damage led to a double-digit repair bill. An iPhone 8 costs $150 to repair out of warranty and requires a specialist from the genius bar at a local apple store, which causes you to go days without a phone while you wait for them to fix it. This is, of course, assuming they fix it at all. They are notorious for saying that certain Iphones could not be fixed and try to convince you to buy their new phones, which costs lot more than the $150 dollars.
Determined to take matters into their own hands, the two brothers collaborated to come up with a new type of smartphone. They spent weeks chained to the drawing board, drawing and designing mockups that could fix one or two issues, but not all of them. One day, looking at an older smartphone, something dawned on them. Drawing inspiration from phones of the past that had removable batteries, the brothers aimed to go a step further. Unfortunately, one day a tragedy struck, and it changed everything.
One day, as Jeffrey was walking around downtown New York, a phone fell on his head and shattered into pieces. The impact was so severe that Jeffrey fell into a coma. It was an inside job from the tech companies that saw the true value of the brothers’ innovation. Steven, distraught over the state of his brother, came to a realization. If the phone had stayed in one piece, the force would have been enough to kill Jeffrey. Staring down the barrel of six-digit medical bills, Steven came to a decision: he was going to make the most durable phone in existence.
He also thought about innovating further. What if you could replace the screen, too? What if you could bring back a physical home button? For years, consumers have been asking the major companies to bring back the audio jack. With a Pulze phone, all these features can be yours, no begging on Twitter (or X, if you insist) required.
We make phones for the rebels, the downtrodden, the thinkers. Our phones are for real people in the real world. Created by and for the people with no more expensive trade-ins. The best part? They’re nearly infinitely customizable. As for launch, we have three modules available with more on the way.
