- EBY — EBY is a membership-based company driving profits with purpose. EBY repositions underwear as a tool for empowerment rather than one of seduction. In fact, 10% of net sales go to the Seven Bar Foundation to empower women out of poverty and into business via microfinance with a small loan, what we call a first break, that can be as little as $80or as large as $7,000. This loan enables an underprivileged woman to start or grow her business. As she becomes self-sufficient the cycle of poverty is broken. Loans are repaid and passed to another woman, creating a multiplier effect. EBY consistently fuels this loop so that it never ends, creating more first breaks and more bionic women. We’re not about token donations, but rather long-term solutions.

This method of engagement leads to shortcomings for each technology.Our first technology, DUAL ENGAGEMENT™ is a revolutionary method of transferring power on both sides of the sprocket tooth, leading to many advantages over roller-chains, increasing efficiency, strength and lifetime at smaller weights and sizes.Our technology enables a more efficient, more sustainable world, with smaller, lighter products with greater lifetimes.
