3. Our story
• I personally have sleep problems and I am very sensitive to the change in sleep environment. I often have
difficulty falling asleep, and thus waking up is a challenge resulting in a dull and miserable day ahead. This
had started taking toll on my health and productivity.
• In a bid to say goodbye to groggy mornings and to improve the quality of sleep, we started looking for a
solution.
• We learned that an estimated 50-70 million adults in the US and 1/3rd of adults in Europe have sleep or
wakefulness disorders!
• We also learned that as much as sleep, dreams also play a crucial role in our well-being.
• We researched that while there was need for it, there was no unique solution available yet in the market.
• We decided to build a technology that will improve sleep and enable everyone to experience the beautiful
world of lucid dreams!
• We did crowdfunding campaign. This gave us an opportunity to work with the community to give them
something they really need and help enhance the quality of life.
