Evergreen, founded by Dylan, built devices that help people earn from their hardware, beginning with a hard-drive-based crypto mining system. The first prototype combined a Raspberry Pi, a hard drive, a 3D-printed enclosure, and a simple web page showing earnings. Dylan first tested whether niche creators would feature a device before building it; after securing interest, he made a prototype in about two weeks and sold a first batch of 50 at $800 to $1,500 each, about $50,000 in revenue. Later, creator placements helped monthly revenue rise from roughly $50,000 in October to $70,000 in November and $80,000 in December, before a January peak described as $300,000–$400,000 in a month. The business also hosted server capacity for customers, requiring racks, cooling, power, and software monitoring. The numbers are creator-reported, and the token price rose during the same period, adding a volatile external driver. This is a high-risk hardware and crypto case, not a simple device margin play.
