Company Details

Korner provides a smart home security system that consists of a $100 dongle and a smartphone app. By plugging in the dongle, Fab, to a router and sticking curved sensing tags in the corner of doors and windows, users can be notified via a smartphone app if someone has entered their home. When the tags sense movement, the system pings the dongle wirelessly and sets off a high-pitched alarm while also sending a notification to the user’s smartphone app. He or she then has the option to call police, send the alert to someone else, or disable the system completely. The company also envisions Korner evolving into an online messaging service that helps neighbors keep in touch with each other. Raised $400k on Indiegogo with an initial target of $150k.
