Sprout teamed up with TechStars alum ECOVENT to create a system of smart HVAC vents that are controlled from your smartphone. We worked hand-in-hand with the founders to design both their product and branding. The result was $2.2 million bump in funding and over a half-a-million dollars in pre-sales.
ECOVENT is a Boston-based start-up with an innovative solution to an age-old problem: sweating bullets in one room of your house while someone’s swaddled in blankets in another. A system of WiFi-connected HVAC vents and sensors – developed at MIT by a team of actual rocket scientists – precisely regulates and optimizes the climate of individual rooms in a home. The system can be retrofitted to an existing HVAC system non-invasively, finally providing an easy and cost-effective solution to a market of over 74 million users in the U.S. alone.
