AirSkirts founder Jim Phelan started his career as a software engineer and CTO. Jim co-founded Stream57, an online webcasting platform, which was sold to West Corp in 2009. Following that successful exit, Jim headed multiple tech startups and served as VP Architecture at West / Intrado corporation. After selling his home in Brooklyn, NY and most of his possessions in 2016, Jim began living and traveling full time in his Airstream travel trailer. AirSkirts was invented to solve a real-world problem Jim faced – how to avoid freezing pipes and wasted energy while camping in cold weather. After using his invention solely for personal use, Jim was asked by other campers and friends to make the product commercially available, and AirSkirts was born.
