track your pet’s location anytime, anywhere, seamlessly and without monthly fees


Findster Home: Track your pets’ location 24/7 from anywhere!

Kickstarter provides a unique opportunity to connect with our users. During our previous campaign, we listened to our backers’ thoughts and based our roadmap around their needs and suggestions. This worked so well that we thought replicating the process was the perfect way to launch Findster Home!

Yesterday, Findster Technologies launched a Kickstarter campaign for a new GPS pet tracker which allows you to monitor your pet anywhere, at any time, around your home and yard without monthly cell-phone fees or subscriptions.

The Findster Home pet tracker is now available at the early bird price of $169 (40% off its future retail price) and is a perfect tool to monitor your pet around the home, or around the neighborhood.

This is Findster’s first return to Kickstarter since 2016 when it successfully raised $250,000 in the launch of Findster Duo, the first GPS tracker without monthly fees that has become the top selling pet location tracker on Amazon.

“Findster Duo is ideal for outdoor adventures; Findster Home, on the other hand, lets pet owners keep track of their buddies while they’re home or on walks around the neighborhood,” said Findster co-founder and CEO David Barroso. “We feel this new product is the natural next step for our company as we progress towards our ultimate goal of reinventing pet care through technology.”

The Findster Home kit includes one or more Pet Modules and a Basestation placed at home. The GPS tracker modules communicate the precise location of your pets in real-time to the Findster smartphone App, allowing you to know exactly where your four-legged friends are, whether you’re at work, out at dinner or on holiday on the other side of the world.

Findster uses a unique proprietary technology known as MAZE which provides wireless communication without any cellular connection and its corresponding costs to the user. The Findster Home system also allows you to set-up virtual borders around your home and yard. If your pet wanders past the border you receive an alert on your phone, letting you or other family members to quickly retrieve your furry friend.

“Kickstarter provides a unique opportunity to connect directly with our users,” added David. “During our previous campaign, we listened to our backers’ thoughts on the product and based our roadmap around their needs and suggestions for improvements. This worked so well that we thought replicating the process was the perfect way to launch Findster Home.”

Findster Home lets you monitor up to three pets at once. It also allows you to check your pets’ activity levels throughout the day, so you know how much exercise and rest they get.

Findster Home’s Kickstarter campaign runs from November 11 to December 14 and Early Bird perks are set for delivery next June. For a full rundown of the pledge levels, visit the Kickstarter campaign.

Findster Home’s main features include:


  • Live GPS Tracking: track your pets’ location in real time using precise GPS technology whether you’re home, on holiday or even in other countries – wherever you may be, as long as you have an Internet connection.
  • Virtual fences and real-time notifications: Setup virtual fences around your house or neighborhood and receive instant notifications if your pets breach them, so you can act swiftly and bring them back to safety.
  • 24/7 Activity Monitoring: Findster Home monitors your pets’ activity levels throughout the day, so you can know if they’re getting the right amounts of exercise and rest. The App will notify you when things could be better.
  • A family-focused experience: Easy to setup and use, Findster Home is designed so that the whole family can keep an eye on their four-legged friends.

Keeps Audio Launches Zenbuds Offering True Wireless Earbuds With Active Noise Cancelling Technology


News Image

A huge pet peeve of mine is working out in a gym with noise everywhere and using earbuds that either fall out or have difficulty staying paired with my phone,” says Kevin Lum, CEO of Keeps Audio. “We created something that will satisfy everyone’s needs. That’s how Zenbuds was created.

Keeps Audio introduces Zenbuds, a premium set of earbuds utilizing active noise-cancelling technology to provide an unmatched listening experience with up to six hours of listening time and three full charges thanks to its portable charging case. Its crystal clear sound, IPX5 water resistance and wireless fit will enhance focus and keep the user in a “zen” state – whether exercising, traveling or simply enjoying their day.

“A huge pet peeve of mine is working out in a gym with noise everywhere and using earbuds that either fall out or have difficulty staying paired with my phone,” says Kevin Lum, CEO of Keeps Audio. “I knew the technology existed, we just had to create something to cater to our needs, and something that will satisfy a wide array of people. That’s how Zenbuds was created.”

While most earbuds claim to have noise-cancelling features, they are actually just passive noise cancelling. This means they rely on the earbud shape and the music itself to block out noise. Zenbuds’ advanced active noise-cancelling technology omits up to 28db of ambient noise. Users can truly get in the zone to focus on their task at hand, without distractions, no matter where they are.

Using a power-saving chip and customized lithium battery, Zenbuds are able to deliver six hours of listening time or up to five hours of listening time with active noise cancellation, and three full charge-ups from the charging case. This means users can have 18 straight hours of total listening time. Zenbuds also offer quick charging — one 10-minute charge allows up to 60 minutes of listening time.

Perfect for those on the go, Zenbuds can be charged while the user is out and about or traveling by simply popping the earbuds in the rechargeable charging case –no outlet is necessary. Equipped with an easy-to-read battery indicator, Zenbuds promise to clearly display its battery level too. For an extra layer of protection, the secure magnetic-sealed lid protects the earbuds from any outside forces and prevents them from being lost.

Zenbuds provide a dynamic audio experience with a rich performance on high notes and deep, strong bass. Zenbuds also offers dual ear call functionality. This solves the problem of hearing a phone call in a single ear and makes the quality of any call that much better.

Never miss a beat with Zenbuds’ auto-pairing Bluetooth capability — they’ll automatically turn on when placed in a user’s ears and turn off when returned to the case. They also connect to the last paired device automatically. Zenbuds easily pairs with Siri or Google Assistant with a simple touch to the side of the earbuds.

Zenbuds are designed with IPX5 water resistance — this means that the earbuds will be completely safe from rain, splashes and sweat. Whether playing sports, training in the gym, or running, the earbuds will be protected through it all. A perk of owning Zenbuds wireless earbuds is that they are guaranteed to stay firmly in place through high levels of movement – not to mention, they look sleek and sophisticated.

The noise reduction bandwidth is 20-1.5Khz with a depth of -26 -28d and a Bluetooth range of up to 42 feet. Zenbuds are now available to preorder at a discounted rate for a limited time only. To place a pre-order please visit, pr.go2.fund/zenbuds.

About Keeps Audio:

The Keeps Audio Team was tired of having lackluster sound quality with their headphones and decided to develop their own pair of earbuds. They spent several years developing Zenbuds and are excited for people to try them and experience impeccable sound without any distractions from the world around them.

Unruly Studios Wins First MassTLC Education Award for one-of-a-kind STEM learning tool, Unruly Splats.

We received hundreds of nominations across our award categories, and the depth and breadth of each and every one of them demonstrates the exceptional leadership of the Massachusetts tech ecosystem. Our congratulations to Bryanne Leeming and Unruly Studios for their well-deserved recognition […]

Unruly Studios, Inc., a Boston-based edtech company that integrates active play with coding for elementary and middle school students, has been named the winner of the Massachusetts Digital Transformation in Education award by the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council (MassTLC).
