LinkPad Inc.

LinkPad Inc. is a startup founded in 2013 that aims to simplify home automation through its unified hardware, software platform, and services. The company's flagship device is a multi-frequency, multi-protocol connected hub with a built-in 10” touchscreen, offering a seamless and integrated experience for users.

The basic LinkPad service is accessed via an existing WiFi or 4G LTE connection to a designated account on LinkPad’s cloud-based server database. The company also utilizes human telemetric data to enhance the customer experience, deliver digital advertising, and facilitate hyper-localized real-world interactions. LinkPad's business model promotes early and long-lasting adoption by supporting a wide variety of functions, with continuous iteration based on emerging user behavior. Moreover, the LinkPad platform is accessible to partners for third-party app development, which seeks to bring innovation to the smart home space. The company's last investment was a $100.00K Seed Round investment at 05 January 2014. With a focus on Energy, Hardware, Privacy and Security, and Energy Efficiency, LinkPad Inc. presents an interesting proposition in the home automation industry, providing users with a user-friendly platform for managing their smart devices.
