25, 2015. Jerming Gu, founder of CANDY HOUSE
Inc., is a mechanical engineering master
candidate from Stanford University. Originall
from Taiwan, Jerming is a someone who usually
thinks outside the box. Disruptor, troublemaker,
entrepreneur, you name it. Originally from
Taiwan, Jerming got the idea for smart lock
because his experience living in Asia where
technology is relatively less developed. "There
has got to be smarter ways to live our lifes,"
Jerming said. Jerming said everyone paid cash
for everything back in Taiwan. He only learned to
using credit frequently after moving to Silicon

he went. "Credit cards are also disappearing
with payment apps on smartphones. And the next
thing to disappear in people's pockets are keys,"
said Jerming with a touch on his pocket.
