P. 2
KeySmart was founded on the idea that complex problems
often have simple solutions. Our founder, Michael, grew
frustrated with his bulky, noisy key chain. Was a key ring really
the best way to carry keys? For months, he worked on designs
and prototypes for a solution. Then, in 2013, he discreetly
launched a Kickstarter for a compact key organizer called
KeySmart. He never expected it to raise $329,862 and grow
into a company with over 50 products.
