The road to the killer device is a treacherous one full of many mistakes and a lot of pivoting. This was a fact that was quite clear to Neyya, formerly known as Fin. The successfully funded company ran their Indiegogo campaign over a year ago and today they are officially launching Neyya, the intuitive smart bluetooth ring that combines form, fashion and function.

The previous design of the Neyya ring was one that caught a lot of attention. It was a ring with the kind of  impressive technology that promised a device that would stand out from the rest. Therefore, it came as no surprise that they managed  to raise more than $200k by the time their campaign ended on September 2014. On this Neyya President Sonia Hunt shared with TechCrunch: “After the crowdfunding and the prototype that we showed at TechCrunch’s hardware battlefield(CES)in Vegas we did some more work and we realized a couple of things. We had brought on some specialists and even physicians, in terms of placement of the ring, and we did a lot of work on metrics of the hand.”
