Sesame smart lock most popular tech project on
Kickstarter
1888 Press Release - Sesame, the world's first
instant smart lock, was featured the most popular
technology project by Kickstarter. Sesame, a
smart lock that allows users to control their
door with a smartphone app, has become the most
popular technology project on Kickstarter after
its launch on Feb. 25, 2015. Sesame reached its
funding goal of 10,000 in nine hours and
attracted thousands of backers, as the Internet
of Things (IoT) and the smart home trends
continue to grow in popularity. Connected to
users' smartphone via Bluetooth, Sesame allows
the phone full control of the lock. With the
optional Wi-Fi Access Point that connects to the
Internet, users don't even have to be physically
near Sesame. This feature allows users to send
access to their friends remotely and make sure
the door's locked when they are not home. With
five-patented design, Sesame works with just
about any deadbolt in the world. It takes seconds
to install Sesame, without replacing existing
lock or removing anything. Current model is
optimized for US/Canada/Australia
Markets. Founded by two students from Stanford
University, CANDY HOUSE Inc. designs and
manufactures products that inspire a minimal yet
joyful lifestyle. "People will carry less and
less things when leave the house, that's the
trend," said Jerming Gu, founder of Candy House.

Wallet, keys, and cell phone. People used to
bring three things when they leave home. Now
wallet is gradually replaced by keys. The
Starbucks app pays your green tea frappuccino,
you Venmo money to a friend for getting
late-night pizza, you hop on a Uber without
worrying about cab fare or tip. "With Sesame,
the next thing to disappear is the keys," said
Gu. http//www.candyhouse.co
