Vessyl smart mug would raise an additional $ 3M

[ad_1]

According to the American magazine TechCrunch, the start-up Mark One at the origin of the smart cup Vessyl would have closed yesterday a first $ 3 million round table. After a pre-order campaign on the myvessyl.com site which allowed them to collect more than a million dollars, the success of the cup does not seem to stop there …

As a reminder, the smart health connected cup not only measures the quantity of liquid ingested but also the precise nutritional content of the liquid. The market is therefore potentially huge since it could appeal to all dieters and ingesting fluids for food. The technology is particularly successful since it would even be able to distinguish Pepsi from Coca-Cola…

An LED system displays this information directly on the cup and then transmits it via Bluetooth to an iOS or Android application. The finish of the product is particularly successful, we can congratulate the designer Yves Béhar which is also behind the design of the Jawbone smart health bracelet.

And not just any investor …

It is certainly this technology that ultimately attracted the Felicis and Horizons Ventures funds. If the name may not mean much to you, know that Horizons Ventures has made some good investments in the past like Siri, Spotify or Waze while Felicis Ventures has trusted Rovio (Angry Bird) or Fitbit. We also won't forget the arrival of Hamid Mohammadinia, a former Apple engineer who worked on the whole series of iPods. In short, Vessyl is in good hands…

The official sale price when it was released in 2015 will be $ 199. Take advantage, you can still pre-order for only $ 99 on the website myvessyl.com.
