Nigerian-born Englishman
Silas Adekunle has raised more than $7 million to fund an innovative gaming
robot that can be used, in part, to enhance science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) education.
It's a privileged to introduce Silas Adekunle, the
founder and CEO of Reach Robotics, a company developing the world's first
gaming robots. Adekunle once conducted an experiment as a kid, causing a power outage
in his apartment block in Nigeria. In November 2017, he signed an exclusive
sales deal with Apple.
Adekunle is the CEO of Reach
Robotics, a tech startup that he co-founded with Chris Beck and John Rees in
2013. The company recently signed a major deal with Apple to sell its gaming
robot, MekaMon, in all 361 Apple stores across the globe. The four-legged
multi-functional robot—which is controlled by a smartphone app—is designed for
single player mode or real-life Mek to Mek battling and will sell for $299.99.
Not only is it the world’s first premium gaming robot, it is also the first to
ever to be sold through Apple.
More grease to his elbow...
