Investment Rationale

We got to know the Nanit team as the business was starting to take shape at Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech. We were blown away by the visionary founders and their passion for imaging systems, machine learning, computer vision, human-centric design, sleep science, and child development. We partnered with Nanit before the first product even launched and have been happy to be along for the journey ever since.
