BrainCo
BrainCo started with a handful of
distinguished research scientists and
engineers from Harvard and MIT and
has now expanded to nearly 50
employees with offices in the USA and
China. BrainCo develops brainmachine interface (BMI) hardware and software platform
technologies. These convert electrical signals from the brain
into digital signals for applications such as education, gaming,
smart home devices, attention improvement training, meditation and functional prostheses.
BrainCo has won various competitions including a Gold Medal
at MassChallenge, 1st place in the Innovation, Venture Capital,
and Entrepreneurship competition, and Most Innovative at the
International Society for Technology in Education conference.
They recently added the Dean of the Harvard Graduate School
of Education as an advisor.
BrainCo is raising $20 million for their series-A round to advance
their clinical trials, product development, FDA approval for
select products, and strategic marketing outreach.

CamToy
We are creating our first product
named Laïka, made specially for dogs.
Laïka is a life companion for a dog,
based on a mobile robot, smart and
autonomous. It is equipped with a
camera, a microphone and a loudspeaker in order to communicate directly with the animal. It also
incorporates a treat tosser in order to reward the dog. Laïka is
simply and intuitively controllable via an app.
The first benefit of Laïka is the ability to use the technology from
anywhere. Owners can see, speak to and reward their dogs and
even be notified in case of repeated barking.
Laïka provides dog owners even more value thanks to the
autonomous smart robot. Thanks to the embedded AI and
sensors, Laïka is able to evolve in an interior space in order to
stimulate the dog even when the master is occupied.

Case by Case
The case made to fit your phone and
your lifestyle. A modular system of the
top selling mobile accessories,
incorporated in one product line to
include scalable protection, interchangeable batteries, wallets, and
multiple attachments for unique markets such as our armband
or handlebar mount.
Software applications are continually advancing at a rapid pace
while the protective hardware and accessories remain one
dimensional and elementary at best. Through calculated and
artistic ingenuity, we developed a multi-award winning logo that
seamlessly brands our case, while providing an intuitive utility
value. The X serves as a ferrous metal and key lock for our magnetic accessories, while the fold out C's serve as finger loops,
kickstand, car mount, and even tension locks for our most
extreme action mounts like our GoPro mount.

Infinite possibilities.
