Same boat, with differences:

Have a product, have a device, have 20 of them garage-made.

Here is what we were doing 3 years ago with them - they have evolved since, but this gives a good idea (we were rejected for YC with this submission, got into startup school but need help bringing this to market.

We have a lot more sensor capability for these and we have a customer that wants to license our medical version, and I am struggling how to write up a partnership agreement.

The premise of the above videos:

We came from tracking weapons/chems for DoD among others whilst at lockheed.

This is an expression of "Slot Level Visibility" in an automated fashion...

We have iterated over the years from Lockheed based on how we saw the deficiencies of what RFID/Slot tracking..

So we have a spatial sensor that tracks:

Temp

Humidity

Particulate (Co2, and more)

Altitude

Wifi/mesh

Presence/ location of people (we can map them out, the partner company wants to license our base to add their Lidar on top (even though we can do lidar easily)

A badge that allows for awareness of people in the space...

---

We are talking to a national paintball org such that we can provide arena awareness of everyone on the field. (We may eventually actually track shots)

This is separate from our medical uses (tracking health of independently-living elderly in their homes) (did they open their medecine cabinet, have they fallen, how much movement activity did they do today, whats the air quality in the home)

Integration with voice "Alexa, did grandpa take his medications today"

We have working devices, patents and pedigree... and yet getting HW funds has been a wall for us.

We are a team of two, with support from a small group of contributing engineers from our network.
