SHU.ai Raises $1.0M Seed Round

Fast Metal, LLC

Fast Metal was started in a garage making premium aluminum sunglass frames machined from the highest and strongest grade alloys known to man. The founder, Ken Wilson is the pioneer of the aluminum eyewear industry and was the first to ever patent a 27 step procedure making high-quality aluminum frames in 1994. Ken Wilson is the founder of Gatorz and Liquid Eyewear with beginnings all the way back to 1987. Ken moved to San Diego to race motocross and worked at a clothing company in Chula Vista, California. Ken was later released from the company which enticed him to start his own company called Gatorz in 1987. In 2001 he developed another company called Liquid Eyewear. Ken has since moved on and established Fast Metal LLC from his garage in Yuma, Arizona. Ken was originally asked to develop a product that could be used by military forces and to withstand high impact such as a 15 Caliber pellet fired at the lens at speeds of 725 feet per second to meet Mil-Spec standards. Another request was to develop the first-ever aluminum sunglass and eye protection system that would offer interchangeable lenses. He has accomplished both of these requests through his latest company, Fast Metal.
