Bi Chinese station August 23 report

For 23-year-olds, most of them may be in the midst of a college graduation, a career or postgraduate grind, and James Prode James Boys has raised tens of millions of dollars for its start-ups. Prodi's company makes a device that helps people to sleep better and deeper.

Prodi is already the CEO of Hello Company, and the device they manufacture is called the Sensory Sleep Tracker. The device looks like a ball that can be put on your bedside table. When you fall asleep, it can monitor various environmental factors in your bedroom. The idea of a "sensory sleep tracker" stems from helping you develop good sleep habits and finding out what causes you to wake up in the middle of the night.

Hello Company's fundraising on the Kickstarter platform has just ended in Friday, and the company has gone well beyond the initial 100,000 dollar fundraising target, with a fund-raising amount of $2.4 million trillion. But these funds are only a small fraction of the total funding that Hello Company has made up to now. The Wall Street Journal confirms that Prodi and his company have received 10.5 million of dollars in funding from angel investors. To that end, Prodi's company has already raised $13 million trillion in total funding.

Mr Prodi's investors include technology tycoons, such as David Marcus, former president of the online Payment tool, David Marcus, vice president of Facebook Partners Dan Ross (Dan Rose), vice president of the former Google (Weibo) Android product management, Current global vice president of Millet Hugo Barra (Hugo).

Prodi says his "sensory sleep Tracker" is inspired by a basic concept: Everyone needs sleep, and most people want to know how to sleep better. "Most people may not go too far every day, but everyone sleeps every day," Prodi told BI in a previous interview. If you are energetic during the day, you have a great influence on your sleep the night before. ”

Prodi was eager to invent when he was very young. Forbes magazine has reported that when Prodi was 9 years old, he saw a book called "Your own website" in a bookstore, and then he taught himself HTML. By the age of 12, Prodi had established other professional websites.

Prodi said he was always eager to go to college, but when he graduated from high school, he changed his mind. In 2011, he chose to join the PayPal co-founder, the US Silicon Valley legendary investor Thiel (Peter Thiel) 's fellowship program. In this plan, Thiel pays for young entrepreneurs and helps them to skip the traditional college education phase and go straight to the start-up stage.

Prodi's first start-up, Giglocator, was the product of Fellowship's plan. Giglocator provided on-site music aggregation services, which were immediately bought by the Williamsburg Complex entertainment venues Brooklyn Bowl, after Prodi's plan to complete the Thiel project in 2012.

After selling Giglocator, Prodi began to create the Hello company, and the "Sensory Sleep Tracker" is the first product of the Hello Company. After the listing, the retail price of this product is 129 dollars.

Prodi says the secret to the success of creating a technology product is that it has to be naturally integrated into your daily life and run well. He added: "This technology is the most valuable when you don't think about it." "(Sail)
