Founded by people who understand light, and the lack of it.

We are a small group of scientists, executives, and problem solvers. Between us, more than a hundred years working in high tech, most of it in Silicon Valley.

We have built cameras, sensors, data centers, and companies. We have taken things public and sold things. We are doing this one because what people wear is the last big category of everyday human data that machines still cannot read, and we know how to build the instruments that read it.

Patrick starts companies that turn into industries. Four so far, three sold, two of them bootstrapped.

Stockpoint, a fintech he bootstrapped, went public and was bought by MarketWatch, now part of Dow Jones. COLO.com, data centers, raised $750 million, with Deutsche Bank and Merrill Lynch leading $500 million in debt and a $250 million Series D ahead of the S-1. Menlo Ventures and Accel backed it. It sold to Hutchison Whampoa. Obscura Digital, surround media, he bootstrapped to over 100 people and $36 million in revenue. MSG Entertainment bought it, and its technology became the base of the Sphere in Las Vegas. MyEvents, a social network backed by Sierra Ventures and Deutsche Bank, is still running today.
