Are you having a hard time falling asleep at night? 

If so, Mark Zhang, the founder of Manta Sleep has a solution: his company’s adjustable, blackout sleep masks that have turned his company into an 8-figure business.

“I had been using it (a sleep mask) for so long, I knew intuitively what to change, what to improve on, and what I wanted”, Mark, who has been a light sleeper most of his life, said.

But achieving success was not easy. Mark knew the sleep mask market was saturated and so, to set his company apart, he worked closely with his manufacturers to design a product that’s breathable, lightweight, and yet sturdy enough to stay on your face throughout the night.
