History

Niall Murphy, Andy Hobsbawm, Dominique Guinard and Vlad Trifa founded the company in January 2011.[2][4][6] In November 2011, EVRYTHNG closed a $1 million seed funding round led by Atomico, a technology investment firm.[7][8] EVRYTHNG announced Diageo, a British alcoholic beverages company, as its first customer in October 2012.[1][9] EVRYTHNG created a Digital Identity for Diageo's whiskey brands in Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Australia, Eastern Europe and Vietnam.[1][9][10] In 2013, global analyst group Frost & Sullivan awarded EVRYTHNG’s IoT platform a New Product Innovation Best Practice award.[11]

In April 2014, EVRYTHNG secured US$7 million in a series-A investment round from Atomico, BHLP LLC, Dawn Capital and Cisco Investments.[3][5][12][13] It was Cisco’s first investment in a company based in both Europe and the United States.[3] Later that year, the company received an undisclosed amount of funding from Samsung Ventures Investment Corporation.[14] In 2014, EVRYTHNG received the best IoT start-up of the year from The Europas, a subsidiary event from TechCrunch. The company was voted IoT Breakout Startup of the Year in 2014 and 2015 Postcapes awards.[15][16]

EVRYTHNG's offers an IoT Smart Products Platform-as-a-Service that connects consumer products to the Web and manages real-time data to drive applications.[17] It operates unique digital identities,Active Digital Identities,for individual products in the cloud to deliver real-time interactive experiences and support services to consumers, and connect via ‘cloud-to-cloud’ integration with the growing ecosystem of other connected applications and ‘smart’ products.[14][18] It has been referred to as a "Product Relationship Management" (PRM) platform.[15][16] EVRYTHNG’s real-time IoT data platform works with both ‘tagged’, non-electronic products (using technologies like RFID, beacons, NFC, 1 and 2d barcodes and image recognition) and natively ‘connected’ products via embedded controllers, sensors and chipsets.

Partners
