i am sad to admit i dont know much about G-Squared as a company other then i know id like to own a few of your yoyos other then the quake and figured id like to know a little more about the company that has a huge potential to get my funds the in future. so i guess thats it in a nutshell how did you get your start and what inspired you on your designs and colorways? thanks for a little peak into your beginnings and what brought you to where you are today. ---

> [@Snafu](#): > > so i guess thats it in a nutshell how did you get your start and what inspired you on your designs and colorways? Let’s see, trying to make this as short as possible. Found a partner (Brett - who is no longer with G2) that was enthusiastic about yoyos and took out my life savings :). We were able to get OD to do our machining and have found multiple ano shops. When starting out the goal was just to be able to make yoyos that we wanted and hope that the community liked them as well. That’s has evolved into me wanting to design yoyos with the community’s voice bearing heard. As far as creating colorways. Everything is an inspiration. I get a lot of suggestions from friends and family. My wife, the other G for G Squared seems to have a good eye for colors. I also get a lot of my ideas from super hero movies 🙂 Feel free to ask more specific questions. ---
