Co-Founder of Néit

As a co-founder of Néit from 2015-2017, I oversaw the design, manufacturing, and sales of high-quality IoT products, with a core focus on innovative space-saving solutions. Our flagship product, Néit Luggage, a revolutionary IoT luggage solution, successfully launched on KickStarter in January 2016, exceeding expectations by selling over $100,000. This venture led me across three continents, from securing seed funding from SOSV with a $5M USD valuation and gaining enrolment at the prestigious HAX incubator in San Francisco, to navigating the complex manufacturing realities in Dongguan, China. This experience was a masterclass in adaptability, problem-solving, and managing the full lifecycle of a tech product from concept to market. Subsequently, further funding rounds were pursued, and the company's assets were eventually absorbed by a lead investor in 2017.
