What Arylla does
Arylla has created a printable tag that can be scanned with any phone using our API. We piggyback on legacy commercial printers to get our tag onto products at scale and license our API to developers who build services on top of our tag. We are 10x less expensive and much more scalable than alternatives like NFC.

Invisible, chip-less tags connect products to the internet
We make a printable, chip-less tag that can be scanned by any phone using our API. The tag can be printed at scale on existing commercial printers and connects physical products to online services. This lets manufacturers and developers add IoT features without expensive hardware like NFC.
We live in Kitchener, ON, Canada, and after YC the company would remain based here.
We're based in Kitchener because that's where we started and where we have our team and facilities. It's important to stay close to our technical resources and manufacturing partners.
