ForeverSpin is a Canadian company that manufactures metal spinning tops, which have a similar appearance to the top seen in the 2010 film Inception. The company funded the initial manufacture of its tops through crowdfunding campaigns.^{[better source needed]}^{[better source needed]}

History

Founding and early years

In 2013, Viktor Grabovskyy, Ruben Gonzalez, and Cristobal Uribe planned to start an analytics company, but as they did not have the funding to do so, they decided instead to market a top as a modern piece of nostalgia. They co-founded ForeverSpin together in February 2014, launching their first fundraising campaign on Kickstarter.
