Sense sleep sensor raises $ 10.5M

[ad_1]

Only a few hours after the Vessyl smart health connected Cup announced a $ 3 million fundraiser, it was the turn of the century. Sense sleep sensor to raise $ 10.5 million according to the WSJ. The start-up Hello which has just completed its Kickstarter campaign and with more than 2.4 million dollars raised can therefore see things big. Like Vessyl, investors for Sense are no strangers to the battalion since they are former PayPal CEO David Marcus, Facebook executive director Dan Rose and Hugo Barra, current executive director at Xiaomi.

The story of the Hello company is quite original since 6 months ago, the company was still working on a classic activity sensor. After meeting with many potential customers, the founder James Proud (23 years old only) finally realized that a sleep sensor would be more relevant. So he had his team of 20 employees collaborate on Sense, which he launched on Kickstarter only 4 months later. In short, a great success story for this entrepreneur, born in London and exported to San Francisco since 2012…

Sense, a sleep sensor that even Stuffi ordered!

For those who have not yet heard of it, Sense is made up of two elements: a small sensor called Sleep Pill which is placed under the pillow and Sense, a ball which is placed on the bedside table. Together, they are able to record temperature, brightness, movement, humidity, noise and particles (pollen or dust).

More discreet than smart health connected wristbands that analyze sleep, Sense has enormous potential when we know that nearly one in four French people suffer from insomnia. Like the Jawbone UP24, the Sense will give advice to the user once he has analyzed his life cycle. In addition, the alarm clock is also programmed smoothly with an intelligent alarm that will notify the user at the end of a sleep cycle rather than at a fixed time. We find there exactly the same characteristics as for the Withings Aura, now available for € 299.95 on Withings.com.
