Castle Innovations
“The SBDC’s support has helped most when it came to mentorship with pivotal decisions associated with founding a business and allowed myself, a solo-founder, to navigate the startup process with support rather than alone.” –Shaun Tanaka, CEO
Castle Innovations LLC aims to save lives through reinventing firearm safety using their invention, CASTLELOCK, which uses the latest biometric locking technology for the ultimate firearm safety solution. Shaun Tanaka (CEO) was inspired to start his business out of a desire to bring an innovative solution to the apparent problem of firearm violence in the U.S. With the help of the SBDC, Castle Innovations received business start training and a grant via the California Dream Fund.
