Little Riot wants to change the way that people use technology to communicate. We spend all our time staring at smart phones and computer screens, pushing little instant messages and photographs to each other. When did our human relationships lose their intimacy and personality?

We want to extend digital interaction into a physical dimension, enabling people to experience a new level of connection and intimacy.

Our first product, Pillow Talk, connects people who are apart (e.g. couples, mothers and babies) using their realtime heartbeat to indicate presence. With sales of over $124,000 in our first 30 days, we know we've made something special.

Our product sits across markets such as lifestyle electronics ($200bn), wearable technology ($20bn), travel accessories ($18bn) and baby care ($62bn).

Pillow Talk is the first product in a series of connected wearable and home devices that will push the boundaries of how we communicate with our loved ones using technology.
