Puffin Innovations is a Consumer Electronics startup that was founded in 2015 in the United States. Their mission, as indicated by their slogan "making smart assistive technology for a more equitable world," is to address the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities in accessing technology. Their flagship product, the Puffin, is a customized, portable, and Bluetooth-enabled joystick controlled by sip and puff actions, designed to enable individuals with physical disabilities to access computers and other devices.
Recently, the company secured a Non Equity Assistance investment on 13 October 2021 from 2Gether-International. This funding will likely be utilized to further develop and expand the capabilities of the Puffin, with the goal of making technology more accessible for individuals with various disabilities. Puffin Innovations' innovative approach and potential for social impact make it an intriguing investment opportunity for venture capitalists seeking to support companies that are addressing critical societal needs through technology.
