ForeverSpin is a Canadian company that manufactures metal spinning tops, which have a similar appearance to the top seen in the 2010 film Inception.[3] The company funded the initial manufacture of its tops through crowdfunding campaigns.[4][better source needed][5][better source needed]
History
[edit]Founding and early years
[edit]In 2013, Viktor Grabovskyy, Ruben Gonzalez, and Cristobal Uribe planned to start an analytics company, but as they didn't have the funding to do so, they decided instead to market a top as a modern piece of nostalgia. They co-founded ForeverSpin together in February 2014, launching their first fundraising campaign on Kickstarter.[4][6]
