Description

The company is a sleep wellness business in Menlo Park, California, founded in 2014 by Ann Crady Weiss and Dave Weiss. It began by helping parents deal with newborn sleep and now serves more than 5 million people.

Its products use habit-formation science to help people wind down, disconnect, and rest. There are no sleep scores or wearables. The lineup includes a contactless sleep tracker that gives personalized routines, a device for guided wind-down audio and ambient light, a baby sleep aid with soothing sounds and lights, and a portable unit with ten calming sounds.
