Reveal Labs launches a crowdfunding campaign for its Tile Bluetooth device to find lost items
Tile is a low energy Bluetooth device that connects to the iPhone to assist users in finding lost items such as keys, wallets, computers and more. The company is offering Tiles for $19 each via a Kickstarter-like crowdfunding process. The company hopes that money raised will help to get the device closer to production.
Co-founded by software and hardware engineers Mike Farley and Nick Evans in 2012, the Tile device has a range of at least 100 to 150 feet away from you. Users can locate items using a complementary iOS app—think of it almost like a “Where’s My Phone?” for everything else.
Evans says, “Tile is changing the world by making lost and misplaced belongings a thing of the past. We are giving people back hours of their lives that were previously wasted searching for missing possessions.”
As of this writing, the Tile has 20,007 backers, with an accumulated total of $1,074,019.
