Four years ago I cofounded Tile with a simple goal: I wanted to help my wife, Camila, who was always losing things. The list is very long! It includes a half dozen jackets; a cell phone; motorcycle keys; backpacks—even a rental car. After she lost her mother’s ruby ring, she cried for days. We turned the apartment upside down and posted signs on street lamps. We never found the ring.

I was inspired to help Camila so she would never feel that sense of loss again. We launched a crowdfunding campaign to see if other people had the same problem, and discovered thousands of people who lost all sorts of precious things: laptops, bikes, keys, wallets, purses and passports.

The idea for Tile was simple: a small, affordable device people could attach to the things they didn’t want to lose. It would send frequent, private signals to the owner’s smartphone and the Tile network so it could always be located.

We shipped the original Tile in June 2014. A little over two years later, we have sold 6 million Tiles and we help people find half a million items each day—a testament to the value of helping people keep track of the things that matter to them most. We’ve heard it all: A little girl found a lost stuffed penguin in Times Square. A guy was able to recover a stolen car in California. One lady found her cat hiding under the porch.

Our latest introduction, Tile Slim, is the result of listening to customers who told us they wanted to protect even more things.

In the end, we hope Tile helps people find more than just their keys. We hope it helps them find peace of mind.

Sincerely,Mike Farley, CEO of Tile
