Proxy

Acquired

Proxy was a series-B startup building technology that made our built environment magical, from doors automatically unlocking as you approach to a room's temperature customizing to your preferences when you enter. Proxy tech combined advanced sensing, environmental control hardware (door locks, etc.), and a suite of software that powered Proxy's domain awareness system.

The work we did set Proxy up for an acquisition by Oura in spring 2023.
