About Trimyxs
Aaron founded Trimyxs, a weed trimmer and edger that attaches to all major push lawn mower branders. This is the first product that Aaron has launched. However, he has many more ideas, stored in a glass jar on his nightstand.
“Our mission is to develop innovative solutions to enhance the convenience of everyday life.”
As Aaron reflects on the highs and lows of his entrepreneurial journey, he explains that some of the lowest points have been when “you put in all this work, strategy, and effort into a design
and time after time it fails.” He specifically recalls when he worked on a design and prototype for the Trimyxs for about three weeks. Within the first three minutes of testing, it broke. Aaron shares that it is exhausting when you are not producing the results you would like to see.
Aaron has also overcome some challenges along the way. Starting out, Aaron struggled with funding. “You have no money to spend, so you have to wear the Entrepreneur Startup Hat, which consist of every hat that is needed to build a business: Designing, Testing, Marketing, Website designer, advertisement, Legal Content, branding, assembling, speaking, networking, procurement, shipping and receiving, finance, all while balancing your full-time job and your family.”
Aaron has learned a lot from his challenges. He explains that some of the highest points in his entrepreneurial journey have been when customers reach out and praise the Trimyxs. He also loves when he runs into people that have seen his product or recognize him from online.
Aaron shares some encouraging moments, “A large corporation has interest in the Trimyxs and potentially partnering, a distributor from Australia reached out wanting to sell the product in Australia, an Amazon specialist specially for new and upcoming inventions reached out to us to be a selected product that they wanted to sell on Amazon, the owner of a few locally owned Ace hardware stores in Arizona reached out to interested in selling our product, hitting 3.5 million views on one of the TikTok videos has really helped get the word out.” After a long six years, Aaron notes that it is rejuvenating to see all of his hard work paying off.
