#23 Jiobit

Tech Features

John Renaldi introduces Jiobit, a geotracking device designed to ease parental anxiety by offering a long-lasting battery and smart tracking capabilities. Unlike other devices, Jiobit employs machine learning to recognize and alert parents when their child deviates from routine paths, such as going to school 1. This feature sets it apart from traditional geo-trackers, which often require daily charging and lack intelligent route learning. Renaldi explains,

It learns where home is, it learns where school is, it learns the bus route, tells you when you get to school, tells when you don't get to school.

The device's progressive beaconing technology allows it to last up to 60 days, significantly longer than competitors, by efficiently managing battery usage through advanced radio frequency techniques 2.

   

Market Potential

Jiobit's technology extends beyond child tracking, offering potential applications in various markets, such as pet tracking and luggage monitoring. Daniel Gulati suggests exploring other verticals, noting that the progressive beaconing technology could be more powerful in different contexts 3. Renaldi acknowledges this potential but emphasizes the initial focus on children due to their unique security needs and the device's small, lightweight design 4.

If you start solving those things, you inherently start solving lots of other things, of other markets.
