Proven tool to manage stress and anxiety.
Take your health into your own hands with the Spire Stone, the only wearable proven to help decrease stress. The Spire Stone helps you keep in sync with your… · More mind and body by measuring your breath patterns all-day and alerting you to sudden changes. Follow your breath-wave, a real-time view of your breathing, on the Spire Stone companion app’s home screen: a smooth, rolling breath-wave indicates a state of calm. When your breathing becomes rapid or erratic, the Spire Stone will send you a gentle notification with actionable next steps.
The end of wearables. The future of realtime monitoring.
Education
About
Achievements
I started my first company in High School - creating Virtual Flashcards. I grew that shareware business to 500k users utilizing then largely unknown SEM and A/B testing techniques.
At Stanford, I studied physics and theater - IMHO one is the foundation of engineering the other an applied study of human interaction. I managed a theater group and fell in love with Improv.
I then jumped back into the ed-tech space with Idapted, a company I started in Beijing. We raised two rounds of funding, grew to be the largest 1:1 provider of online English training in China and sold in 2011.
I also started and grew Beijing Improv into the largest improv comedy group in Asia - touching tens of thousands of people. Beijing Improv raises money for an NGO called HuaDan where I sit on the board.
I then created Brainpage, a boutique big data technology & services firm in Beijing working with major advertising clients on time-stamped data. This big data technology + team is used for Spire.
