What ANORIA does
We've spent decades tracking everything. Sleep. Recovery. Steps. All proxies for how we feel. Performance is 90% mental. And yet no one has built the feedback loop for our emotions. We close that loop by designing a device that understands how you feel, tells you why, and what you can do about it. Emotional intelligence becomes trainable, so you can better connect and create with those around you.

ANORIA
Wearable device that reads emotions to improve EQ
We are building a wearable device that senses and understands your emotions in real time. It identifies how you feel, explains the reasons behind those feelings, and suggests actionable steps to improve your emotional intelligence. This helps users build emotional awareness and stronger connections.
We live and are based in San Francisco, CA, and the company will remain here after YC.
San Francisco is where our team is located and where the hardware and AI talent we need is concentrated. Staying here gives us access to manufacturing partners and early users in tech-savvy communities.
