[SEEKING TECH COFOUNDER] Building a luxury wearable — posture-tracking hairclip (BLE / nRF52 / React Native)

I’m working on VILLANI — a smart, premium hairclip that fixes your posture in real time.
Looks like a designer accessory. Feels like a beauty product.
Underneath: custom PCB, BLE, sensors, vibration motor — all built and tested.

Now I need someone to own the tech: firmware, mobile app, BLE sync, OTA updates, and whatever comes next.


You should:

  • Know your way around BLE and have worked with real hardware (not just simulators)

  • Be solid in React Native or Flutter

  • Understand GATT, UUIDs, DFU, OTA

  • Be okay with moving fast, building ugly (at first), and fixing things live

  • Not need handholding — I’m busy building the rest of the company


Where it’s at:

  • Hardware is done (nRF52840 / ISP1807-LR chip)

  • Brand is dialled in

  • Early interest is strong

  • Kickstarter and DTC launch planned once the app is running

Looking for someone who wants real ownership, not just a freelance gig.
Equity is on the table. Remote is fine. If you’ve worked on wearables, Oura-style apps, or hacked on firmware before — let’s talk.

DM or comment with a link to your stuff.
