About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words. Instant voice communication How did you come up with the idea for this product? Being volunteer firefighters and EMTs, we felt there was a better way to communicate than walkie talkies and walkie talkie apps. We created Onyx to make an easier way to talk to people with the same immediacy as a walkie talkie, but in a form factor and new experience people would be excited to use, and limited only by the limits of the internet. What makes your product special? Onyx is the first wearable of its kind, putting the power of voice communication at your fingertips in a small, stylish device. With Onyx and the Orion app, we’ve combined wearables + messaging + voice services into the revolutionary new way to communicate and coordinate with your favorite people while staying mindful and in the moment. What has been the best part of your startup experience? We love seeing people discover new and inventive ways to use Onyx to keep in touch and have fun while doing it. It’s that ah-ha moment where people see the power of voice and see how Onyx makes communicating so much easier, especially when you would rather be focusing on the people and things going on around you, instead of getting buried in your phone screen.
