6 sites in the drawer
Fauna Robotics makes Sprout, a 42-inch humanoid robot sold to developers, researchers and companies that want a machine safe enough to walk around people without a cage. Amazon acquired the New York startup in March 2026, two months after Sprout came out of stealth.
friend sells a wearable AI companion — a small white pendant that listens all day and now talks back. Its founder spent $1.8m of a $2.3m seed round on the domain itself, then papered the New York subway with ads that drew protests and vandalism.
Telepathic Instruments makes the Orchid, a portable chord synth for musicians who write by ear rather than by theory. Co-founded by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, it grew from an idea he says he carried for over a decade: a machine that hands over chords rather than asking a player to name them.
ALSO. is the micromobility company Rivian spun out in 2025, selling a $4,500 modular e-bike called the TM-B direct to riders in the US and Europe. Nothing mechanical connects the pedals to the wheels — the TM-B is pedal-by-wire, an idea carried over from cars and still rare on a bicycle.
Daylight sells the DC-1, a black-and-white Android tablet built for reading and writing without screen fatigue. Its transflective display stays legible in direct sun at a full 60fps, and the only backlight it carries is amber — no blue light at all.
teenage.engineering is the site and store of the Stockholm firm behind the OP-1 synthesizer and its pocket samplers and speakers. The same small studio shaped other companies' hardware too — Panic's cranked Playdate, Nothing's phones, the rabbit r1.
