Hi Avre, yes, it does. We've manufactured a small quantity that will ship in January. We've also prepared our production lines to support bigger quantities as we scale our operations. Thanks for your comment.
Why you didn't go with one of the crowdfunding sites?
Is this a problem people are willing to pay to solve? Is the fact that it's raining outside a good enough reminder not to lose your umbrella? Just curious.
a) I know where I left it, and
b) a decent umbrella costs $3 where I live, so I'd need to lose 20 before this became cost effective.

Still doesn't mean that I'm going to buy one of these.
I can't love this. It seems there is a flood of new products that allow you to track or remember them. This can't be sustainable in the long run, as each product uses it's own proprietary technology, that requires you to use a specific app. Fast-forward 5-10 years. Do I want 30 apps on my phone that track the various things I may or may not bring with me? Nope. That would be very annoying, indeed.

Downtown in any big city would probably prove that to be wrong very quickly. Toronto destroys umbrellas.
They make some nice claims WITHOUT any warranty at all.

Where you see hell I see market forces making everyone freer and more powerful. Once everything has intelligence, we'll need to manage that intelligence. We need one phone app and not dozens.
