BeBop Sensors, the world leader in smart fabric sensors, has closed a $10 million funding deal led by San Francisco, CA-based Bullpen Capital, a leader in post-seed funding. With millions of sensors in daily use, BeBop Sensors designs, manufactures and delivers smart fabric sensors to Fortune 500 companies in the Health, Automotive, IoT and AR/VR markets. The funding will help BeBop aggressively accelerate proudct development and market penetration. Winner of the Frost & Sullivan Innovation Award and Gartner Cool Vendors Awards, BeBop Sensors’ innovative technology products include the Forte Data Glove, the first fully featured data glove with sensors and haptics prices for the consumer marekt; the Sensor Helmet, first to provide location-specific impact information; Multi-Sensor Insole that measures the changing forces on the bottom of the foot; Automotive Occupant Classification System embedded car seat sensors with intelligent car occupant sensing technology for safer airbag deployment; Smarkt Foot Mat, a high resolution sensor platform that accurately mesures a person’ balance and detects anomalies in orthotic measurement that tradtional methods are undable to; ahd Fabric Track Pad, an input device that can be conformed to a car’s interior for extreme accuracy to recognize taps, gestures and swipes for unique applications a nd many more ground-breaking flexible sensor technologies. Unlike fabric sensors, BeBop’s sensors measure physicality, sensing pressure, XYX location, bend, motion, rotation, angle and torsion for precise analysis of data. “We believe BeBop to have fundamental technology that will be as important to AI and humans as cameras and microphones. Computers need to feel people, and fabric is already deployed in clothing, furniture and interiors. People are comfortable with it. The perfect place for phsical sensors,” says Eric Wisen, managing partner, Bullpen Carpenter. The market for sensors in wearables including globes for VR, automotive and gaming applications, is expected to grow rapidly, reaching $5 billion by 2027. The market is also transitioning from rigid sensors such as FSRs to fabric-like flexible, stretchable sensors. BeBop Sensors is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this transition and rapid growth in the market.
