What is Pontosense?
Pontosense builds wireless sensors that measure really small movements (as small as a heartbeat) using radar technology. We have the most accurate sensor on the market, by a factor of 10,000x. Were not just a little better were 10,000x better. This means that we can see things more clearly and can analyze and catch issues quicker. Today, we serve many markets, but around the same use case: saving lives
What makes us different than everyone else?
We have founders with over 500 patents; prior to Pontosense we built companies worth a total of $5B. Our companies make your iPhone, Starlink, Meta VR sets and other technologies. With our factories, we can produce up to 700,000 units a month. Youll not only be working with the best tech in this space, but also a team to support growth and expansion.
What problem will you solve?
People fall down a lot, especially older adults. In the US, 30% experience a fall so severe they have to go to a hospital. How do you catch falls in bathrooms and bedrooms? Well, not with a camera (creepy) and not with a wearable (hard to use; try taking a shower with a pendant). RADAR is the only choice. However, existing products have performance issues leading to many false alarms and missed falls. Thats where our 10,000x product advantage comes into play youll be working with the best tech in the game to solve an issue (elderly falls) that is familiar to us all.
