WISP

[edit]

Dobson had founded WISP nearly six years prior to its appearance on Shark Tank, having thought of the idea after hurting his back bending over to consistently sweep his floor.[4] He had got the name WISP by being able to hit a golf ball to its target from over 300 yards while being slight in stature.
