We create breakthrough products for smart homes.
Empowering Human Connection Through Technology
We create breakthrough products for smart homes.
OUR CALIFORNIA ROOTS
We started in Santa Cruz with one idea and billions of reasons.
That idea became a product which became a company committed to improving life for everyone on earth. Our customers are discriminating, so our products are loaded with features beyond basic functionality, leveraging the best of science and technology so our customers can be excited to bring our products home and into their lives.
OUR PRODUCTS ARE PURPOSEFUL
AND SO ARE WE
With technical expertise in robotics, IoT, and environmental science, we use design thinking to evolve our products from big idea to optimal market fit. That way our customers enjoy more creativity in the kitchen, more success in the garden, less time in routine tasks, and a lot more time enjoying what they like to do.

We design products for people who want a smart home connected with devices that serve a real need, of course, but also are artfully designed, and leverage the best of science and technology. I have spent my career leading operations, manufacturing, marketing, and tech, and I’m excited to bring this team together to reach a consumer who is more sophisticated than ever before.

We started APIO because we couldn’t find the kind of products we were looking for. I’ve worked in IT for decades, and I’m OK with advanced technology living alongside a more natural lifestyle. We call it homesteading with technology because I know we can have powerful technology without taking a toll on our environment, and I’m excited to shepherd this company to do just that.
