Crowdfunding Success
While learning guitar, I faced a common frustration: constant head movement between the screen and my hands disrupted my learning flow and technique. Traditional learning methods required dividing attention between instruction and practice.
I transformed the smartwatch into an intuitive learning companion by pioneering a new way to display instruction. This patented approach puts real-time guidance exactly where users need it—on their wrist. After validating the concept through prototypes and user research, I:
- Secured patent for the innovative display method
- Raised $22K through crowdfunding
- Led development team of 8 engineers
- Mastered SwiftUI to personally evolve the platform
- Scaled to 17K+ monthly active users
- Achieved #3 in Education category by TechRadar
