biped is a certified medical device in Europe. In 3 years, we designed a device from scratch, tested it with over 250 beta-testers and got support from leading organizations in Switzerland and abroad. Our innovation has been qualified as game-changing and revolutionary for the blind community. We have started to commercialize biped in 2023 with paid units and dispatched 35. We are increasing production capacities to reach 300 units in 2024. We also sell biped as an accessiblity soltuon for workplaces. We raised 2 rounds, led by Serpentine VC, most recent one being a 1.2M seed round.
