CEO @ Mighty Cast is excited to be introducing The NEX Band - the world's first modular wearable technology for the Millennial generation. The goal of The NEX Band is to disrupt the wearable space. To give power to the consumer to customize their smart bands both on the inside and out at a fraction of the cost all while protecting against obsolescence. Through NEX collectible "Mods", users can continually change their style on the outside and experience on the inside. Simply by changing out a Mod, a user can customize notifications, find friends through proximity, send secret messages, track the full history and story of their Mods and even use the band as a game console on your wrist - all while creating a customized style. The company also has an API which gives developers the ability to access the physical collectible wearable space without the need to create their own hardware company. The company is looking to build out this ecosystem for third party developers to create an "app store for hardware". Originally from San Francisco, Mighty Cast is headquartered in Montreal. The company is venture backed and received the highest award from the Canadian government's CMF grant and was named as Engadget's Reader's Choice Award. Mighty Cast was also a finalist in the SXSW Accelerator Competition and named by the CIX as one of the Top 20 Innovators in Canada. Anyone interested in The Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable technology - we are hiring. Mighty Cast is looking for Software Engineers (Objective-C/iOS and Android), Database Architects and Engineers (NoSQL), Marketers, Electrical Engineers, and embedded system specialists/firmware.
