Say hello to Dusk,
the future of sunglasses

Dusk are the world's first pair of app-enabled  electrochromic, tint-changing smart sunglasses.

The $160B eyewear market is built on outdated tech

Regular sunglasses

are not suitable for all conditions due to the fixed tint.

Smart sunglasses

are big and bulky, and for most, the only "smart" feature is the audio.

Photochromic sunglasses

are slow and unfashionable, and designed with outdated technology.

Dusk are dynamic, the way sunglasses should be

Users can personalize their Dusk experience through the Ampere app with instant tint adjustment, InstaOptic™, HuddleMode™ and more.

Revolutionary tech that is hard to copy

Customers around the world love Dusk 

I’m impressed. The dusk glasses live up to the hype. Sleek, comfortable and very convenient. I’m so happy to have it. It’s a proper game changer for me.

Verified buyer
I consider myself a technology enthusiast, and hands down this is one of the best items I have seen in years. I receive constant compliments on the Dusk sunglasses as well as the recharging case. As a matter of fact, I should probably get a commission for promoting this product. My optometrist was in aw and asked for the information which I gladly gave.
Gary S.
Verified buyer
I ride motorcycles a lot and often I am out past sundown when riding. I always seem to forget my clear glasses for riding at night. These are the perfect solution. I can ride the motorcycle during the day with hood tint and when the sun goes down, just press the button rather than having to pull over, sort through my bags for clear or yellow sunglasses and get back on. They held up well at 80+ on the freeway and were tight enough to not be blown off by the wind.

Verified buyer
I love them! The functionality is amazing. Being able to darken and lighten the tint of the glasses on demand is such a luxury.
Gary S.
Verified buyer
Thank you very much for this amazing product! It‘s very nice and I use it so much :) happy to be a part of that and to see many new upcoming products of yours.

Verified buyer
Well made and easy to use. An all around worthwhile pair of glasses that I don’t have to worry about losing because they were too dark to wear indoors. Push a button and I can see in any lighting condition.

How do I get a return on my investment?

Investing in startups is risky and there is no guarantee you will get a return on your investment. However, an exit opens up the opportunity where you could convert your shares into cash or a more liquid asset. Exits include going public, getting acquired by a larger company, or our company buying back shares. If the value of our company grows, then you have a higher potential of making a profit on your investment during one of these exits.

Why invest in startups?

Regulation CF allows investors to invest in startups and early-growth companies. This is different from helping a company raise money on Kickstarter; with Regulation CF Offerings, you aren’t buying products or merchandise - you are buying a piece of a company and helping it grow.

What are the tax implications of an equity crowdfunding investment?

We cannot give tax advice, and we encourage you to talk with your accountant or tax advisor before making an investment.

What do I need to know about early-stage investing? Are these investments risky?

There will always be some risks involved when investing in a startup, such as the company going out of business, having limited voting power (due to dilution), and the timeline to exit. That’s why we recommend startups be part of a more balanced, overall investment portfolio as high-risk, high-return assets.

When will I get my investment back?

Since Ampere is a private company, our shares can’t be easily traded or sold on an exchange. That said, there are two potential scenarios where you can receive a return on investment: 1) We get acquired by another company or 2) We go public. These can take five to seven years in the life of the company. In either case, investors receive a pro-rata share of the payments that occur. But if an early-stage business fails, investors get nothing. There is no guarantee that the stated valuation and other terms are accurate or in agreement with the market or industry valuations. It involves a high degree of risk, so people who can’t afford to lose their entire investment should not invest in startups.

Can I sell my shares?

Shares sold via Regulation Crowdfunding offerings have a one-year lockup period before those shares can be sold under certain conditions.

Exceptions to limitations on selling shares during the one-year lockup period:

In the event of death, divorce, or similar circumstance, shares can be transferred to:

  • The company that issued the securities

  • An accredited investor

  • A family member (child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse or equivalent, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships)

How do I keep up with how the company is doing?

At a minimum, the company will be filing with the SEC and posting on its website an annual report, along with certified financial statements. Those should be available 120 days after the fiscal year end.  If the company meets a reporting exception, or eventually has to file more reported information to the SEC, the reporting described above may end. If these reports end, you may not continually have current financial information about the company. The company will also send regular updates to its investors via email.

What relationship does the company have with DealMaker Securities?

Once an offering ends, the company may continue its relationship with DealMaker Securities for additional offerings in the future.  DealMaker Securities affiliates may also provide ongoing services to the company. There is no guarantee any services will continue after the offering ends.

What happens if a company does not reach their funding target?

If a company does not reach their minimum funding target, all funds will be returned to the investors after the close of the offering.

My question is not listed here. How can I get in touch with the company directly?

Please email your question to invest@amperetech.co and a member of our team will get back to you shortly.
