Navigating Dreams to Reality
What if...having a "connected" home were as easy as plugging in a device?
That's the principle behind "K Kit", a very small smart-home system that recently funded successfully on Indiegogo.
And K Kit is just one of the makers' creations which Z-Spaceship is supporting.
Z-Spaceship is the world's first Sino-U.S. cross-border marketing accelerator. They provide Chinese hardware start-up teams with direct access to overseas markets. Which means--they're also introducing some very cool consumer technology into the U.S.
"Captain Louis" founded Z-Spaceship in August, 2015. He talked about what Z-Spaceship is doing, the mistakes makers can avoid in marketing their ideas, and how K Kit works to enable any electronic devices to "talk" to one another. (He also offered a hint about an upcoming innovation!)
