DeviceHub

Angel Round in 2015
DeviceHub.net empowers ambitious developers to build tomorrow. We provide an integrated solution for IoT projects development, combining cloud integration with business intelligence in order to integrate both hardware and web technologies. We offer data gathering, cloud logic, triggers, real-time remote control, and analytics in a friendly user interface. We offer a PaaS (Platform as a Service) through which the hardware/mobile developers can connect and remotely manage multiple devices. This has enabled individuals and SMEs to rapidly develop systems for fleet management, intelligent vending machines, global container tracking, wearable electronics and many others. Our PaaS offering is modular and built to scale with security and performance as primary objectives. It can be fully white-labeled, re-branded, and installed on-premise or in a Virtual Private Cloud for Enterprise-grade deployments.

Ecoisme

Seed Round in 2014
Ecoisme is a home energy monitoring system that detects home appliances consumption and shows how much money users spend on it. It eliminates grid and solar energy overuse and notifies owners if something is about to break. The system requires just one sensor in the home which tracks energy consumption and it is connected to the fuse box in a contactless way. Ecoisme made a successful Indiegogo campaign, got CES Best of Innovations Award. In June Ecoisme became a member of EEI, and is working on pilot projects with EDF, Virgin Media and Dubai Energy and Water Authority.
