Monitor the Temperature of Your Hands and Feet

In this episode of Art of the Kickstart, we interviewed Adrien Beyk, co-founder and CEO of Quanta Vici, creators of smart heated gloves and socks. Through integrated, real-time temperature sensors, Quanta Vici wearables (and smartphone app) let you maintain an exact temperature of your hands and feet for up to 6.5 hours. Listen in and learn about the smart wearables' product development journey and their Kickstarter experience. Topics Discussed and Key Crowdfunding Takeaways The inspiration behind Quanta Vici came from living in chilly Toronto and wanting to help those with medical conditions negatively affected by cold weather. How finding gaps in the electric heated glove and sock market led them to design a more precise, longer-lasting glove and sock that looked good too. Why the team started working with Enventys Partners, a marketing agency, when figuring out how to find a broader audience, beyond the initial (and smaller) target of the medical market. The challenges that came with designing a fashion item (instead of just a lining) as a tech company and how they were able to come up with truly smart and wearable gloves and socks.
