Founded by an educator, an ed tech executive and an AI/machine learning expert, Earshot is developing technology to empower individuals to communicate effectively using actionable data. Like a Fitbit for communications, Earshot listens to a conversation and provides actionable insights to help people talk less, listen more, and ask smarter questions. The technology is being developed to help teachers effectively engage students in the classroom, as well as for other vertical markets. The startup has traction through a successful Kickstarter campaign and through the creation of a training content version of the product (i.e. an offline version of the product), which consumers are buying. Earshot is currently seeking angel investment to develop and market their product.
