About MOON Ultra
Founded in 2017 by Edward Madongorere and Dishen "Dixon" Yang, MOON Ultra is a consumer hardware company born from a personal need. Madongorere, who has a background in sales and marketing, was inspired to create a solution for better capturing photos and videos of his son, who has autism. This led to the development of the company's flagship product.
The company operates in the consumer electronics market, specializing in portable lighting solutions for content creators and everyday users. Its business model is based on the direct sale of its physical products. The core product is the MOON UltraLight, a compact and portable lighting device designed to improve the quality of photos and videos taken with mobile devices. It is rechargeable and marketed as one of the smallest and most advanced portable lighting devices available.
MOON Ultra has gained significant traction and attracted high-profile investors, including Grammy Award-winning record producer L.A. Reid and artist Burna Boy, which has provided a substantial boost to the company's profile and mission.
