I am writing to tell you about our new product, JarGone- the Smart Swear Jar, in hopes that we can be featured on your site. We believe this is a product that hits a major pain point of your readers, and we hope we can help improve their lives.
We were inspired to create JarGone by the current epidemic facing our society regarding discrimination on the basis of sex, race, and sexual orientation. We see the start of a movement. Groups are rising up to spread awareness that they are fed up with being belittled, humiliated, and disrespected, particularly in their professional careers. Awareness is important and powerful, but what’s next? Let’s move the conversation inside workplace.
JarGone is a smart hardware device that uses speech recognition technology to listen for user-entered “flagged words”, entered via our mobile application. Any member of a team can pair to the device via bluetooth and enter in a list of words that they want to call out. If those words are spoken within range of the jar, it sets off an alarm and glows red.
We believe it’s important to stop the discrimination without calling attention to those affected by it. JarGone acts like a neutral 3rd-party “language referee” to keep the conversations clean, professional, and start discussions about the words we use without confrontations.
It’s been much to our surprise that major corporate investors are turned off by the idea of addressing the biggest social problem facing our country today. We could speculate the reasons why, but the fact is, to make this solution a reality, we are turning to the crowdfunding platform, Kickstarter and need the support of your readers to take this movement to the next level.
Please take a look at our campaign, website, and let us know if you’d like to discuss the product further. Thank so much for taking the time to read about our vision.
