"Manufacturing challenges always come up. One of the things we've had to learn is how to figure out timing, because even though you'll get a time frame from one piece of the manufacturing puzzle, something else comes up that you hadn't anticipated or you did anticipate but then it went completely sideways."

Edward Madongorere is the CEO and co-founder of MOON Selfie, the smallest, most elegant mobile lighting solution for folks who want to live life in the best light.

A jack of many trades, Ed worked in Marketing at Comcast… Developed E-Learning programs and pioneered the video email marketing process at Cisco… and was a designer & project manager at Affectiva.

As a talented UX/UI design and cinematographer Ed founded Edemanté Design & Film, where he produced stunning ads and content for clients.

His work has appeared on CNN, Fox, CBS, MTV, NECN and more. With a magnetic personality and love for people, Ed is always encouraging others to pursue their dreams and overcome challenges, especially through his inspirational Instagram stories.

I had the good fortune to meet Ed at the monthly pitch event I co-host in Boston and became an instant fan of this extraordinary entrepreneur. His startup stories are inspirational and insightful, especially for those founders launching a consumer product.

Please follow Ed everywhere he "glows!"
