SAN DIEGO, CA–(The Daily Transcript, Nov. 12th, 2014) – Two months — almost to the day — after winning Evonexus’ DemoDay pitch event, the co-founders of Hush, a smart earplug that combines noise blocking and white noise-generating solutions to improve sleep while connecting with your phone to hear alarms or emergency notifications, are launching a $100,000 Kickstarter campaign to get the product into production.
Daniel Lee, one of the co-founders, said the round runs through Dec. 18, with the proceeds covering the fixed costs of manufacturing, such as molds, as well as other standard business costs — oh, and that little thing called survival for the team.
Since earning the title of DemoDay champion, Lee said Hush has been working with local engineering consulting firm Expertise Engineering to finalize some of the more technical hardware and electrical engineering components to prepare for manufacturing. Now they’re ready.
