Founded by people who understand light, and the lack of it.

We are a small group of scientists, executives, and problem solvers. Between us, more than a hundred years working in high tech, most of it in Silicon Valley.

We have built cameras, sensors, data centers, and companies. We have taken things public and sold things. We are doing this one because what people wear is the last big category of everyday human data that machines still cannot read, and we know how to build the instruments that read it.
