[edit] History
Digital Innovations was founded by Joe Born and Collin Anderson in 1995 in Chicago, Illinois and achieved initial success by selling CD and DVD scratch repair devices. In December 1998, Digital Innovations first product, the SkipDR was released to the market. By 2002, distribution had grown to approximately 25,000 retail outlets, primarily in North America
In December 2003, the Neuros division of Digital Innovations was spun off into a separate entity, leaving Digital Innovations with the accessory brands including SkipDoctor and others, and with Neuros managing and producing the digital media products.
