For Immediate Release

 

Local Businessman Wants to Bring Technology Wealth to Mississippi

“Why Should Silicon Valley Get All of the Tech Funding?”

 

 

Ocean Springs, MS (July 14, 2023) – Since the big fallout from the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) – technology start-up companies are leaving the Bay Area and spreading their wings to other states – including right here in

Mississippi.

Tom Coleman, a local businessman, wants to use his patented product to put Mississippi on the technology start-up map.

This patent is basically a bright lighting creation and a step above LED lighting as it is always cool to the touch, able to be fully charge in minutes.

On the technical side of things, his patent uses “Thin Film Technology”and  advanced electroluminescence.

“Why should Silicon Valley have all of the tech start-up funding and innovative reputation for new technology? We want to help Mississippi using this new patented product, which will help with personal lifestyles, professional needs, government signage- the uses are endless.” said Coleman.

Coleman said he also wants to find a way to help encourage other technology entrepreneurs to bring their business to Mississippi – and along with it – an increase in technology wealth for the state.

He said he is pushing for Mississippi to have its own technology boom and venture capital increase to help other tech entrepreneurs.

 

“We have a growing entrepreneurial spirit and an abundance of innovative people right here along the Gulf Coast,” Coleman said.

The Rear Lites – RLites website – rearlites.com   displays a variety of images demonstrating the extra-bright, lightweight new lighting products – customers can create their own image or design using this extra-bright light.

“The choices seem endless. We can create any image from decals to corporate signage or signs for government and state buildings and roads,” said Coleman.

“Everyone can benefit from this patented product even as a safety measure.”

Just to compare with other states, PitchBook’s 2022 US Venture Capital Outlook report, the Bay Area received a whopping “22 percent share of the total venture capital (VC) count in the United States in 2022.”

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IF NEEDED:

 

   The new patented product can be found by going to the RLites website at https://rearlites.com/ – orders are currently being taken for decals and other images using this new bright lighting.

   Coleman said RLites has been a vision of his for years and after receiving all patents and now that his creative plans are in place he said he is “ready to take the company to the people of Mississippi.”

   “This bright new lighting is so clear and better suited than LED lighting for road signs, personal decals, vehicle displays, and it uses advanced

electroluminescence,” Coleman said. “The uses are endless in the home, office and can be easily mounted on windows or displayed on desktops, countertops, vehicles, and shelves.”

 

   A good example of technology innovation spreading away from Silicon Valley can now be found in Atlanta, “which is called the “Silicon Peach” for a reason. Records show it does not do the same volume of startups as Silicon Valley, but its one of the country’s top choices among startups.”

 

   “Thin Film Technology” gives life to Rear LitesTM (PARENT COMPANY.)

   Rear Lites, LLC is a privately held company with patented and licensed products. Rear Lites entrepreneur, Charles “TOM” Coleman said he has been able to “create colors true to the needs of clients unachievable by the competition.”

   Rear Lites “Is shaping the future of marketing through innovative, creative, and tech savvy moving images via thin lightweight decals through Rlites,” said Coleman.

   rLiteTM decals are an advanced electro-luminescent logo to display in your vehicle, home, or office and can be easily mounted on windows or displayed on desktops, countertops, and shelves.
