German start-up KEEO lets you find your lost keys
via smartphone, starts crowdfunding on Kickstarter
German start-up starts crowdfunding in US & UK
• Find your keys via Bluetooth using your Smartphone
• 100 % Made in Germany
Losing your keys belongs to the past. Germany now presents a key holder
which can be tracked using your smartphone. We call it “KEEO”.
If all goes well, and our campaign is successful we look forward to shipping
in January 2014. Our crowdfunding campaign started on July 23rd, 2013.
“From 1500 order onwards we can enter production – that is our goal” says
Ege, who developed the idea behind KEEO in 2010 and who leads a small
team from Frankfurt with the aim to bring KEEO to life. “For us to start, we
need to find 1500 supporters who are as convinced of KEEO as we are.”
The KEEO team does not only see Kickstarter as a platform to gain access
to seed capital: “If there is sufficient demand we would like to enter the B2B
sector, helping companies to consolidate their badges, keys and chip cards
into one device they can hand out to their employees”. Also, a real estate
agent is proved with a fancy way of handing over the front door keys to the
new owners.
Given the integrated Bluetooth chip it is almost impossible to lose your
KEEO. This is because KEEO and your smartphone alert you when they are
separated.
The PLUG ´N´ SCREW-system makes it easy to attach your keys to KEEO
without modification and the ONE-BUTTON-CONTROL that makes the
right key pop out with a push of the button. As you can see, using KEEO is
very simple and fun. All this is made possible with 100% German precision
engineering and 100% passion for keys.
KEEO is very solid and light at the same time because its patented slider
mechanism is milled from a single block of stainless steel. The housing is a
glass-fibre reinforced high-tech material used in aerospace engineering.
