After 7.5 years building
@elemindtech, I'm excited to share the biggest milestone in our company's history: Elemind has been acquired!
We'll share more details at the right time, but this is a big win for Elemind and for neuromodulation technology.
My co-founder David Wang and I are moving to the Bay Area to join the acquiring company full-time and become part of their team. We've gotten to know the team well over the last few months, and we're excited to work together in this next chapter where we'll have the opportunity to put Elemind's technology in front of vastly more people than before with the scale, resources and platform of a publicly traded company behind us. More to come.
We started Elemind on a belief that precisely timed stimulation could move the brain from one state to another, without drugs. We took that from the lab to market, shipping Elemind to 10k people, starting with sleep. Along the way we completed multiple clinical trials, published our research, earned customers like Nike & Google, & built a patent portfolio around the technology. What a journey!
If you own an Elemind headband, nothing changes for you today. Your device, app and membership will continue to work, and support is still here at support@elemindtech.com
