RainGlobes is a brand of water globes owned by RainGlobes LLC, the company responsible for the invention and manufacture of the RainGlobe. Unlike snow globes, RainGlobes are partially filled with water and simulate rainfall with their patented design.
In 2005, Josh James called his friend Fred Northup and asked, "So why do they sell Seattle snow globes? Wouldn’t a rain globe make more sense?" During the following seven years, Northup tinkered away and created a rough prototype made of Tupperware, cocktail skewers and duct tape. It was at this time that Fred reconnected with Lakeside School classmate Scott Larson. Scott Larson is the managing partner for Vashon Partners, an angel investment group and an advisory team for entrepreneurs based in the Pacific Northwest. The three of them officially founded RainGlobes LLC in 2007.
