Smart, connected luggage. ‘Nest for travel’
Bluesmart (YC W15) makes smart luggage (you can think the “Nest of travel”).
In the last 4 months we made $2.5M in revenue, pre-selling 8,000 units of our first product: the world’s first connected suitcase.
The Bluesmart Carry-on features 3G/GPS location tracking, Bluetooth-enabled digital lock, a smart built-in scale, a USB battery charger, and trip data through a companion app.
The product raised +$2M in pre-orders on Indiegogo, becoming one of the most funded projects on the platform.
FastCompany listed it among the “Best Travel Gear of 2014,” Yahoo Travel among their “Best Travel Innovations of 2014,” and Forbes Magazine among their “Most Innovative Products of 2014”.
Every year 350M units of travel luggage are sold, representing $30B in annual revenue.
