Waverly Labs imagined those opportunities….and then decided to make those science fiction opportunities into reality. Waverly Labs is an innovative consumer products company that combines speech translation with sleek wearable technology, and their Pilot Translating Earpiece means you never have to be lost-in-translation again. Simply pop one of the small wireless earpieces in your ear, and give the other earpiece to the person you’re speaking with. Easily set up which languages you are each speaking in the Waverly Labs app, and voila! It translates your conversation in real-time. All you need is bluetooth and a data connection, and you can have your own version of Star Trek’s Universal Translator.
Right now, there are more than 15 languages available including Spanish, English, French, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, and Japanese. The earpieces are noise-cancelling, have a full day battery life, and can be used to listen to music and make and receive calls. The app also allows for real-time text translation, so you can keep the conversation going wherever you are.
Needless to say, Waverly Labs has hit the ground running. In less than 18 months, they’ve generated more than $5.5 million in gross revenues, with over 25,500 Pilot earpieces pre-sold. Their 2016 Indiegogo campaign raised an amazing $4.4 million, surpassing their original goal by 3181%. On November 17th, 2017, they launched their first public offering, and within three days they reached the maximum investment amount allowed! Now, they’re opening up a second investment opportunity designed specifically for accredited investors, with the purpose of addressing more advanced speech translation challenges and focusing on partnerships and retail strategies.
As globalization increases, so does the global market for language services. In fact, it’s expected to surpass $45 billion annually by 2020. There’s more of a demand than ever for bridging language barriers -- and Waverly Labs has found a way to do it. They’ve imagined a world where everyone can communicate easily with each other….and they’ve made that world a reality.
