Finder
A smart tag and mobile app that help
people locate their everyday belongings
before they become a problem.
smart tag + mobile app + secure cloud

THE PROBLEM
Small losses create big disruption
People lose keys, wallets, student cards,
backpacks, headphones and luggage because
these items are small, mobile and used every day.
Lost time: searching everywhere without a clear direction
Stress: panic before classes, travel or work
Security risk: personal data may be exposed
Administrative burden: more lost-and-found cases
