WHY I’M BUILDING THIS.
I'm a 2x Emmy Award-winning Executive Producer who spent 20+ years building teams to make the unmakeable happen. But those skills were forged long before I stepped on a set.
I was born with progressive hearing loss and wouldn't change it if I could. It made me compassionate, determined (stubborn?) and quick to spot solutions before others see problems.
But the night the fires came, when my life literally depended on it, my only solution was a sleeping pill.
The next night I slept through an evacuation order. It was a false alarm, but a harrowing reminder of the stakes.
I thought about a grandfather sleeping through the smoke detector. A 13-year-old sleeping through a tornado siren. My own goddaughter, hospitalized after sleeping through her glucose monitor.
So I dug into the market. Here's what I found:
We're at the same frontier we faced in 2006.
Back then, our desks were littered with flip phones, calculators, notepads and MP3 players. Suddenly everything merged into one device and changed how the world moved.
That's where haptics is today: Entertainment immersion, wellness tools, assistive alerts, smart parenting, senior care, all scattered across a dozen single-purpose gadgets.
Trembo isn't joining that category. It's defining it. We're building the device that will save lives and change how the world feels.
Our pre-seed round is open. Please support Trembo however you're able: fund, donate, pre-order or share.
Thank you!
