Only in Texas: Revolution Ropes
January 30, 2009
Ever since NTAN (the North Texas Angel Network) began officing in our coworking space at the INFOMART we have met some very interesting entrepreneurs. Earlier today we were visited by Sandy Stephens the president of Revolution Ropes. Evidently there are scores of competitive ropers (i.e. using a rope to lasso cows and stuff) around the country. Sandy invented what he calls the ‘xcelerator’ which allows cowboys to decrease ‘misses’ by increasing tip follow through, more distance, less bounce and better tip visibility. He estimates the total market size of ropes at around $60MM in the U.S. Who knew. Anyway, it isn’t everyday we see a real live cowboy even here in Texas. Sandy with the Hulk and his rope:
