RVnGO believes in bringing people closer together and we’re doing it with the world’s first free person-to-person platform for RV rentals, sort of like Airbnb for RVs. We own the insurance product for insuring the RV rental and we make our money from that, and it allows us to make the platform completely free, compared to other platforms that charge more than 30% in fees because they don’t own the insurance. This has reduced the friction of RV owners listing their RVs for rent to zero and we have the best selection of RVs for rent by owners directly. At the same time, we are having explosive traffic growth from Guests looking to rent RVs, our organic traffic is up 90X since May 1, 2021 and over 900% since September 1, 2021, while competing platforms have been at the same traffic levels for the last 2 years.

The BARRAGE simulates temperatures, actions/impact, ambient lighting and aromas to take users deep into there entertainment experience, and this is just the beginning...
​
The BARRAGE is our patented technology concept for an Interactive Video Gaming Cushion that wraps around the waist of the gamer to help prevent the various injuries that can be linked to immersive game play. Comprised of a foam padding to absorb muscular strain off the body of the gamer following prolonged hours of play. In addition the BARRAGE is a game changer because it allows the player to finally be able to feel the directional and situational actions taking place in the game through what we have termed as the ACTION PADS. The BARRAGE uses haptic or tactile feedback technology to give off RUMBLE REACTIONS simulating the actual ACTIONS taking place in the video game. As the gamer’s character gets hit, whether it be to the left, right, front, or back, the GAMER feels it through the pads on the BARRAGE . We utilize separate actuators which are strategically placed around the gamer’s waste which will RUMBLE in response to the action taking place in the game while at the same time promoting ergonomic support. Hence our slogan, “Feel the Game, Without the Pain.” This technology is transformational because never before have gamers been able to experience their games physically on a multi-angular level in such a compact way.
The BARRAGE Features:
1. 360 degree Impact Simulation
2. Hot/Cold In Game Temperature Simulation
3. Ergonomic Support
4. Works with other media (movies, sports games, television)

Trevor has an extensive background in alchemical formulations and has had the honor of learning from some of the best alchemists currently alive. Combining this with his understanding of business, passion, and drive has resulted in the formation of this revolutionary company.
​
THE STORY OF SOULAR
Soular is the rebrand of the company previously known as Inlightened Alchemy.
In the vacuum of space, light does not technically exist, but is rather instantaneously transmitted from generator (star) to receiver (planet). Just like the molecular clouds that gravitationally collapsed under their own mass to give birth to our solar system, our team, the formulations we produce, and its impact on the greater community has grown into something much more significant than we could have imagined, and thus we have evolved from a transmission, to a generator. The amount of light we are generating has increased so vastly, we have become a star, and thus, Inlightened Alchemy has become Soular
