Our Mission & Core Values

I spent 10 years at Google, building products like Pixel phones and Fitbit wearables.

But after a decade in corporate and grind culture, my body forgot how to switch off.

To cope, I tried the things my doctor prescribed, mainly more therapy and more medication. I stayed with them for years, but for me, the side effects were severe, and the benefits were limited.

Then I tried meditation, breathwork, and supplements. They sounded great in theory. But in practice, I couldn't sit still long enough to make them work.

So as a product person, I started looking for hardware that could help.

Vagus nerve stimulation seemed promising. But most of the devices I found were too clinical, too intense, or too impractical for daily life. They were built like short interventions, use it for 3 minutes at a high intensity, then move on with your day. But that wasn't what I needed.

I needed something I could actually incorporate into my life. Something comfortable enough to wear for an hour or two while I worked, did chores, listened to music, or attempted to meditate.

It had to be clean, without messy gel on my neck or inside my ears. And honestly, if I was going to wear it in public, it had to look good. Sleek. Modern. Comfortable.

So I quit my job at Google and started building something I wish had existed all along.
