The Premise
As the tech-led smart eyewear category evolves, considered product design tends to remain an afterthought. Here to flip the script is Aether, a new design-focused wearables company launched by an international team of award-winning designers and strategists driven to bring a human touch to a market gap between sound, eyewear, and personal style.
Aether combines designer eyewear with earbuds to deliver a new ambient listening experience for a digital seamless future. A future where advancements in Voice AI technology will enable us to rely less on our screens.

The Vision
Aether believes in creating a future where technology fades to the back. Your personal aural ambience comes to life in surround sound - elevating your sense of wellbeing through newfound clarity with nothing in your ears.
Aether’s vision is to create an ecosystem built on open-ear audio technology merging high-end eyewear design with advanced AI capabilities. The same way Steve Jobs merged the iPod, phone, and internet communicator into the iPhone in 2007.
WHY WE’RE INVESTING
Aether is not a prototype, a concept, or just an idea. It's a founder-led, fully operational company at the forefront of an emerging industry with a best-in-class product. Perfectly closing the gap between fashion and wearable technology, their products can be purchased online and have fast-
growing order quantities in top retailers worldwide.
All major tech brands have shown interest in Aether's patented hardware technology and brand appeal, which leads us to believe that Aether is an optimal acquisition candidate for a tech giant like Apple.
That is why Moonshot has decided to lead Aether’s Pre-Series A round.
High growth
Thanks to a lean operating structure and a high-margin product, Aether is able to scale quickly.
Impressive demand
At the intersection of two growing markets valued at over $200B. Global sales of audio eyewear are projected to increase to 50M units by 2027.
Patented technology
Tech giants Facebook, Google, and Microsoft have not yet managed to produce such a slim design. Aether is the only company with patents for such a design.
The future
Aether's roadmap is planned towards IPO from 2027 onwards. Alternatively, Aether will be an excellent acquisition target for big tech firms looking to buy into the next big frontier of smart eyewear (as Apple bought Beats Electronics for 3B CHF in 2014).
