Many great people helped us make this campaign a massive success, starting from our team, ranging all the way to our investors, advisors and industry friends. What started as a Kickstarter idea to raise US25,000 (S33,000) has now reached more than US1 million in less than a month. I'm excited to share The New York Times and CrunchBase articles (links below) that not only covered us, but also recognized the enormous market we are operating in and its readiness for disruption. When Israeli startup Nimble wanted to produce a manicure robot, close to 5,000 people rushed to support it in just three weeks. Revealing to the world the disruption of Nimble was a very exciting moment for our team and I'm happy that the press was quite enthusiastic about it as well and covered us extensively. Launching on Kickstarter meant moving out of stealth mode and sharing what we have been quietly working on over the past 4.5 years. Last week came to an end our Kickstarter campaign where Nimble generated $1.8M (biggest beauty tech campaign on Kickstarter) and created an amazing community of close to 6,000 backers who engage with us frequently, helping us shape the future of Nimble! Nimble utilizes machine vision, high-resolution micro-cameras, and 3D image processing to scan the size, shape, and curvature of each nail.

Onward and upward! □ The clip is only 1 minute long, but behind it is a long journey: a 1 hour sit-down interview, a 6 hour shoot day - but most importantly, years of hard work by the entire team, coming to fruition. My co-founders Ron Miller and Avichay Mor-Yosef have led the charge in combining cutting edge artificial intelligence with sophisticated robotics to create a truly multidisciplinary device, suited for home use, by a consumer - which means a compact, affordable, easy-to-use, and maintenance-free device, that provides great results!Īnd now, mass production lines are up and running and we’re ready to scale! We’re endlessly grateful to the early customers who have had Nimbles in their homes for months and have provided invaluable feedback. The joy and delight we see are incredibly exciting - we can’t wait for what’s to come. The nail polish category is a massive, rapidly growing $60B market and the AI segment within the beauty services space is expected to hit more than $13B by the end of the decade. I was happy to host CBS Mornings for a demo with Nimble and have a great conversation about Nimble’s AI capabilities and how AI is reshaping the beauty services industry.
