Back the interface
that disappears.
Vyldor is a leather belt that measures your waist circumference continuously, from the tension in its own strap. No other wearable can, because no other wearable is worn tight around the middle. We’re raising €500,000 for an 18-month evidence plan.
Last week we deleted this product’s main feature. The buckle carried a removable earpiece until the arithmetic stopped working: 8.6 mm of usable cavity depth, and an acoustic nozzle aimed into the ear eats most of it. Ten shapes were drawn and measured. Every one that fitted had stopped being an earpiece.
It is the only evidence we have so far of how we behave when the numbers disagree with the plan. The whole teardown is public.
Interactive 3D concept · drag to explore
The bet in three lines.
A category people already trust
Belts are worn daily, unconsciously, by billions. Vyldor adds quiet intelligence to something familiar instead of asking people to wear one more gadget.
The phone does the heavy lifting
By using the phone for AI, maps and connectivity, the hardware stays simpler, cheaper and lighter than a standalone wearable — a leaner path to a first product.
Timing: calm tech is the reaction
As screens and notifications hit their limit, ambient, screen-free interfaces are where attention — and value — moves next.
Where the first round goes.
Exactly where we are.

We’d rather show you the real stage than a polished illusion. No physical hardware has been built, worn or tested yet; you’d be backing an early concept, its solo founder and a plan to recruit experienced hardware help. One thing worth knowing up front: the founder is under 18, so anything requiring a signature is handled with his parent as the legally responsible party.
Let’s start a conversation.
Tell us a little about you and we’ll follow up personally with the deck and current status. Non-binding, no pressure.
