SAN DIEGO, April 26, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XY Findables™, known for their flagship product XY Find It, has launched a Regulation A+ equity crowdfunding initiative on StartEngine.com – an investment platform that gives both accredited and non-accredited investors the opportunity to invest in private companies. This initiative is part of the company’s plans to raise capital to strengthen its position in the multi-trillion dollar Internet of Things market with its suite of interactive smart tech products that incorporate a diverse range of technologies from the world of “nearables” and “wearables.” Currently anyone, including customers, fans, and investors of all types over the age of 18 years old can reserve shares in XY Findables. By reserving shares in XY Findables, individuals have an opportunity to own a piece of the company and be a part of further defining the burgeoning findables market.
“We created this company to help our customers use technology in a novel way that impacts their lives on a daily basis,” says Arie Trouw, the CEO, founder, and head of product development of XY Findables. “We’re excited by the fact that for the first time, consumers can act like private investors and get in on the ground floor of ownership of companies creating the products they use every day. We’re one of the first startups with a product already on the market going this route because we believe that inviting our customers and fans to become owners will give us opportunities above and beyond what we’d receive from more traditional modes of fundraising. We’re excited to see what the future holds.”
A serial entrepreneur, Arie Trouw previously founded several companies including Ength Degree and Sambreel, and is one of San Diego’s active angel investors. Trouw has successfully distinguished the company from others in this space by quickly infiltrating the competitive retail landscape. By the end of 2015, with Trouw at the helm, XY Findables achieved retail and online distribution through more than 20 of the world’s largest retailers including Fry's Electronics, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, and sold over 100,000 units.
XY Findables Provides Unity Across Market Segments
In the past, technology has limited people’s ability to combine Bluetooth, GPS, QR, NFC, and similar technologies together on a single platform to create a unified portfolio of products. This forced the consumers to use individual products limited to specific applications that didn't work together. We are finally reaching the intersection of these diverse technologies, and as integration advances, XY will continue to expand their product offerings.
Similar technologies and products are gaining market share. In 2015, the wearables market was over $15 billion, whereas the nearables market stood just above the $200 million mark. By 2019, CCS Insight estimates that the wearables market will explode, growing to over $25 billion, while the nearables market is expected to surpass $4 billion over the same period. As these markets continue to evolve, XY Findables aims to aggressively define the growing Findables market.
