Meet Badger – your closed caption smart badge



We created Badger, one of the world’s first closed captioning smart badges that converts speech-to-text in real-time. Badger translates speech to 50+ languages, providing real-time communication right below the speaker’s face.  We improve and enhance comprehension and understanding for both people in the conversation.  


We are inspired to help people overcome communication barriers.  Whether you are deaf, have hearing loss, speak a different language, or are wearing a mask, Badger will help.


The Problem


Inadequate Communication for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People


The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires businesses to find ways to effectively communicate with the 35 million Americans who have hearing loss, yet most current solutions fall short of meeting this required goal.

 


 

In addition, there are millions of nonfunctional ID badges being worn around the world without the power to connect to the 21st century. 


The Solution


Wearable Closed Captions


We designed a wearable badge that provides real-time closed captioning right below someone’s face. For the first time, people will be able to wear closed captions, increasing the effectiveness of communication for those with hearing disabilities and language barriers. 

 



Badger connects to your phone via bluetooth, using two microphones to isolate the wearer’s speech.  The speech is transmitted to the  Badger app on the phone and converted into text. The text is then transmitted back to the Badger to display the spoken word in real-time on screen for someone to read.


Badger also has RFID and NFC for other smart features in development, which we plan to implement via our app.

 



Badger will generate revenue through direct sales. In the future, we will move towards a Hardware SaaS business model (Hardware sales + subscription recurring revenues).


The Market


A Unique Niche that Spans Multiple Growing Markets


More than 35 million Americans and 466 million people worldwide report some degree of hearing loss, yet there is currently no way to put closed captions or translations on people for face-to-face interactions. The current functionality of closed caption products is limited to computers, televisions, or smartphones.


Our primary target industries are the $49.6 billion interpretation and translation market, as well as the $21.1 billion eBadge market, projected to reach $33 billion by 2025. There is a great upward opportunity for sales and profits with Badger.



We plan to start selling and using Badgers in hundreds of thousands of hospitals, pharmacies, nursing homes, hospice centers, residential care communities, and adult day centers across the US.  All of these centers have the potential to purchase hundreds to thousand of Badgers for each employee that works there.


Our Traction


Patented Technology Ready for Commercial Sale


We’ve raised $500K+ to date, and have filed two patents with more than 50 claims that cover today's technology and many future iterations, with more filings to come. 


We are production-ready and prepared to commercialize our product. We are seeking to contract with a manufacturer in Fremont, California to build the next run of 2,000 Badgers, and then grow from there.


Why Invest


Increasing Accessibility with Revolutionary Technology


We envision a future where plain paper or plastic badges will be replaced by Badgers capable of captioning and translating, as well as swiping in and out of buildings, trade shows, conferences, airports, and more.    


Our patented technology is set to revolutionize the $49.6 billion interpretation and translation market and make life better for millions of people. 


 

Join us as we use our technology to raise the standard of communication for the world’s 466 million deaf and hard of hearing people. 


We are sure you know of someone who will benefit tremendously from Badger.


Badger is a product that provides for not just financial ROI but a heartfelt feeling of improving the quality of life for so many. Invest today!

Display Week 2022

Badger had a great time exhibiting at Display Week 2022 in Silicon Valley at the San Jose Convention Center earlier this month.  We did over 10 hours of captioning demos!  That is a lot of communication.  

When Badger was not captioning, Badger replaced our conference badge.

One of the coolest parts of the show was being able to use Badger to translate from a foreign language into English – since I usually am the one who is demoing Badger, I rarely get to see it in action 😊

Good luck. My father in law is hard of hearing and ended up in the hospital following a heart attack. Long story short, if the hospital staff had this device, I believe he would have digested more of what he was being told, which would have led to him having his surgery in 2021 as opposed to mid-February 2022. Luckily he made it to his surgery in February and the delays did not harm him. Will this device provide written transcripts of visits upon discharge? So when the patient (say an elderly parent) gets home, family can review the discharge paperwork and conversations that were had? Or is that a major HIPAA obstacle?

How does this handle the fact that a deaf patient or caregiver is likely to only be able to communicate in American Sign Language? So we've improved one side of the conversation, but we still need an interpreter for the other direction. Thoughts?

If would be awesome if this was bi-directional meaning the person wearing the badge could hear the translation of the person they are talking to in their headphone. This might require a 3rd mic so not sure if that is feasible but again would be AWESOME!

The many video demos only show the display of the wearer's talk to text. Wouldn't the system also pick up any ambient speaking, including the receiver/customer/patient? Also, how quickly does the language translator work, both to turn it on, and to convert the language onto the display? And... could a hearing-challenged person have themselves, to then temporarily offer its use to someone else? For example, could the badger be given to a health care practitioner, for their temporary use, without the practitioner having to calibrate it, download an App, etc.

FAQS

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000 are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, they are limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancellation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancellation policy. You may find the company’s cancellation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to be sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.

Investing in private company securities is not suitable for all investors. An investment in private company securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. It should only be considered a long-term investment. You must be prepared to withstand a total loss of your investment. Private company securities are also highly illiquid, and there is no guarantee that a market will develop for such securities. Each investment also carries its own specific risks, and you should complete your own independent due diligence regarding the investment. This includes obtaining additional information about the company, opinions, financial projections, and legal or other investment advice. Accordingly, investing in private company securities is appropriate only for those investors who can tolerate a high degree of risk and do not require a liquid investment. See additional general disclosures here.

StartEngine Marketplace (“SE Marketplace”) is a website operated by StartEngine Primary, LLC (“SE Primary”), a broker-dealer that is registered with the SEC and a member of FINRA and the SIPC.

StartEngine Secondary (“SE Secondary”) is our investor trading platform. SE Secondary is an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System (“ATS”) operated by SE Primary that matches orders for buyers and sellers of securities. It allows investors to trade shares purchased through Regulation A+, Regulation Crowdfunding, or Regulation D for companies who have engaged StartEngine Secure LLC as their transfer agent. The term “Rapid,” when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace, specifically refers to transactions that are facilitated on SE Secondary, This is because, unlike with trades on the StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”), trades on SE Secondary are executed the moment that they are matched.

StartEngine Bulletin Board (“SE BB”) is a bulletin board platform on which users can indicate to each other their interest to buy or sell shares of private companies that previously executed Reg CF or Reg A offerings not necessarily through SE Primary. As a bulletin board platform, SE BB provides a venue for investors to access information about such private company offerings and connect with potential sellers. All investment opportunities on SE BB are based on indicated interest from sellers and will need to be confirmed. Even if parties express mutual interest to enter into a trade on SE BB, a trade will not immediately result because execution is subject to additional contingencies, including among others, effecting of the transfer of the shares from the potential seller to the potential buyer by the issuer and/or transfer agent. SE BB is distinct and separate from SE Secondary. SE Secondary facilitates the trading of securities by matching orders between buyers and sellers and facilitating executions of trades on the platform. By contrast, under SE BB, SE Primary assists with the facilitation of a potential resulting trade off platform including, by among other things, approaching the issuer and other necessary parties in relation to the potential transaction. The term “Extended”, when used in relation to transactions on SE Marketplace denotes that these transactions are conducted via SE BB, and that these transactions may involve longer processing times compared to SE Secondary for the above-stated reasons.

Even if a security is qualified to be displayed on SE Marketplace, there is no guarantee an active trading market for the securities will ever develop, or if developed, be maintained. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

StartEngine does not (1) make any recommendations or otherwise advise on the merits or advisability of a particular investment or transaction, (2) assist in the determination of the fair value of any security or investment, or (3) provide legal, tax, or transactional advisory services.
