Disruptive Holdings Details
In 2008 Charles came to speak as an inventor and entrepreneur to a class of entrepreneurship majors at The University of Notre Dame. Garrett happened to be sitting at the back of that very class and after only a few minutes realized that something was very different and special about Charles. Little did they know then what that day would turn into.An unlikely partnership 10 years in the making, Disruptive Holdings, was created in 2018 by co-founders Charles Hughey and Garrett Busch, aimed at innovating and changing technologies in the physical world. Our company develops intellectual property internally, as well as investing in strategic external technologies and partnerships.For the last 20+ years, the lion's share of venture capital has focused on the binary ones and zeroes of software, internet sites, bitcoin, block-chain and other "disruptive technologies" of the I.T. world. We go against the grain and target technologies and industries in the physical world, many of which have not seen significant innovation in decades, and in some cases more than a century. Disruptive Holdings is currently developing our proprietary motion conversion technology to replace the crankshaft in almost any application. The crankshaft, while ubiquitous throughout our world due to its long history, simplicity, and low cost, is actually very inefficient as a motion conversion mechanism. Considering the crankshaft is a technology over two thousand years old, and has not seen any fundamental change since its inception, it is ripe for disruption. We are improving motion conversion not incrementally, but by orders of magnitude.
