Innovation often springs from unexpected sources, driven by those daring to challenge the status quo. One such innovation is the Sphere Brake, a revolutionary braking system developed by Sphere Brake Defense (SBD).

Initially conceived as a sphere within a cylindrical housing, akin to an engine, the evolution of the Sphere Brake into a vehicle brake system required overcoming steep learning curves. “A pivotal meeting facilitated by Ben Franklin [CNP] connected me with an industry leader,” shared Aaron Lewis, Founder and CEO of Sphere Brake Defense. “This encounter sparked a trajectory shift, propelling our innovation towards automotive applications.”

With its ability to facilitate rapid brake pad replacement without wheel removal, the Sphere Brake seamlessly integrates into military logistics, providing a strategic edge to the US Marine Corps and Army.

THE BEN FRANKLIN ADVANTAGE.

In addition to financial support, SBD received invaluable resources from Ben Franklin’s Transformation Business Services Team, providing essential support in financial planning, HR compliance, marketing, and strategic guidance.

When asked about advice for other entrepreneurs and the value of partnering with an organization like Ben Franklin during the critical startup stages, Lewis’s advice was clear: “Don’t hesitate. They’re your cheerleaders when others aren’t. They keep you focused and honest, serving as a crucial sounding board. They’ll always have your back!”

The Sphere Brake stands as a testament to ingenuity, perseverance, and collaborative innovation. Aspiring entrepreneurs, small business owners, and supporters of innovation alike can draw inspiration from SBD’s journey, underscoring the transformative potential of daring ideas and steadfast partnerships in reshaping industries and driving progress.

As SBD approaches an inflection point in its growth trajectory, fueled by recent funding and strategic partnerships, its vision extends towards transformative growth. Anticipated expansions into civilian markets, mirroring military applications, promise to unlock new opportunities in off-road, electric vehicle, and commercial segments.
