Crowdfunding Corner: Soundbrenner Core: The 4-in-1 Smart Music Tool

Check it out on Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/352439100/soundbrenner-core-the-4-in-1-smart-music-tool?ref=project_build

The Soundbrenner Core is a 4-in-1 Smart Music Tool that brings all your most essential music tools in a premium wearable. It serves as your everyday watch plus a Vibrating Metronome, Magnetic Twist Tuner, and a Decibel Meter. The Core will allow you to focus on what matters; your music.  

They started crowdfunding for their previous model (Pulse) and got $240k when they only asked for $15k. So today they launched on Kickstarter to raise money for their new model Core and Core Steel, asking for $50k and giving an opportunity to get the early backer benefits.

This is the first 4-in-1 wearable music tool that a musician needs to help them perform better: a vibrating metronome, a tuner, a sound meter and… a watch.

Starting price is $139.

Crowfunding Corner: ReGrow Helmet

It may look strange, but a new hellet-like device may help you grow hair.

Learn how this breakthrough laser treatment technology is making women’s alopecia and male pattern baldness a thing of the past.

ReGrow Helmet, the most advanced laser hair treatment device, is launching on Indiegogo to bring the highest quality and most affordable option for hair regrowth in the comfort of one’s home. Early campaign backers will save 40% off the retail price. Set to launch on October 2, 2018.

The sophisticated design and advanced technology of the ReGrow Helmet will lead the industry in engineering and deliverability. ReGrow emits coherent laser light to stimulate hair growth, emitting red laser light at a wavelength of 680 nm, the optimal spectrum of light for hair regrowth.  

The low-level laser treatment penetrates deep into the scalp to heal cells and reactivate dormant hair bulbs, promoting cellular activation for hair regrowth and hair thickening, effectively reversing the effects of male pattern baldness and women’s alopecia

“For the last 8 years, I searched for my own hair thinning solution,” explained ReGrow Founder Mitchell Lesbirel. “I invested heavily in hair thickening shampoos, laser hair treatments, and various keratin and collagen hair supplements. The lack of hair regrowth drove my passion to develop the ReGrow Helmet.”

ReGrow Helmet Laser Hair Treatment Specs:

• 187 low level lasers for stimulating hair growth within 3-6 months of use

• Two built-in microscopes for tracking hair regrowth and thickening

• Integrated camera for visual hair tracking

• Cordless design fits 99% of the population

• WiFi connectivity for syncing with smart devices

• Corresponding iOS app for scheduling, tracking, and monitoring progress. (Android 2019)

 Register here: https://comingsoon-tech.com/projects/regrow-laser-light-hair-growth-helmet  so you know exactly when the indiegogo campaign goes live.

“We offer the lowest cost per laser on the market and use the latest light weight, low heat, and always on [non-flashing] laser technology,” said Lesbirel. “We proudly stand behind our product by offering our customers a money back guarantee if users do not see progress after 8 months of treatment.”

Crowfunding Corner: Smado Smart Door Locks

Locking and unlocking your doors will never be easier. Smado has created an innovative, hands-free, easy to install smartphone-linked system to conveniently open and secure door locks.

Check out their indiegogo campaign here:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/smado-a-smart-way-to-open-doors--5#/

Smado’s smart lock, bell and opener devices deliver a sophisticated way through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity to control your door and bring advanced technology to your home without the hassle and cost of more expensive options on the market. Additionally, the company’s smart door solution requires no screws and tools to install within seconds and fits into any existing door lock.

With the company’s system, you can access all of your smart doors through an app for seamless control from anywhere. Also, you can give friends and family their own door codes, and get a notification whenever they’re used. It is always easy to check the status of your Smado devices with real-time notifications.

 
The inspiration for its signature product came out of the Smado founders living together in a cramped apartment and seeking a solution to their ongoing problem of losing door keys. After several years of development, the Smado team produced a working prototype of their smart door system. They have won several product awards for their product design in India and Dubai and are poised to make an impact in the billion-dollar smart home market that is expected to grow by 30 percent in the next two years.

“It was our goal to bring consumers affordable smart door technology that is advanced in performance with military-grade security but is simple to set up,” said Midhun Sankar, CEO and co-founder of Smado. “With our hands-free system, you can stop leaving your key under the mat, or worrying that you left the garage door open as you can remotely open or close it if you forget. You can access all of your smart doors through our app for seamless control from anywhere. Also, you can give friends and family their own door codes, and get a notification whenever they’re used. It is always easy to check the status of your system, control all of your connected devices, and get real-time notifications for any activity you care about at your home. ”

Smado products start as low as $49.

Core benefits of the Smado Smart Door include:


●       Hands-Free: No more need for keys. With Smado opener already connected to a nearby smart device, you don’t even have to pull out your phone or touch the door as it connects automatically and opens your door.

●       Smartphone Link: Smado system is secured with a Google login, and you can receive all door lock information directly to your smartphone.

●       Works with Any Door Lock: Smado fits into any existing door and locks. No need to remove any parts from the existing door while fixing or installing.


●       Auto Lock: The Smado smart device locks your door automatically after you open it, so you don’t have to worry about leaving it unlocked behind you.
 

●       Exceptionally Easy Installation: Easily and quickly installed in your door lock and does not need any tools or professional installation
 

●       High Security: Smado features a military grade end-to-end encryption system ensuring the highest possible security standards.

●       Angle Adjustment: Featuring a 180-degree angle adjustment to enable the Smado door opener to be adapted to work with both swing and slide doors.

●       Manual Door Key Option: Since Smado opener is installed along with the existing door and locks, you can still use your original key to access your door lock manually.

●       Long Battery Life: Smado devices feature longer-lasting lithium batteries and the system sends out a notification when battery levels get low.
Smado has launched an Indiegogo campaign, (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/smado-a-smart-way-to-open-doors--5#/ ), to spread awareness about their company’s innovative smart door technology among consumers and the investment community.
