Forbes Interviews Crave's Ti Chang

SAN FRANCISCO — Forbes.com published a feature this week focusing on San Francisco-based industrial designer Ti Chang, co-founder of the modern line of sex toys called Crave.

In 2011, Crave raised $104,000 in crowdfunding from 950 backers with the goal of making a luxury vibrator, which it did with the Duet Lux, a vibe that retails for $349. In 2013, the company raised another $2.4 million from 60 angel investors.

“We’re just at the very start of this and so far it’s been a really great journey,” Chang told Forbes. “I love what I do.”
