Clocky
Clocky was founded by Gauri Nanda in 2005 while she was a student at MIT. For Nanda, an oversleeper who was often late for her morning classes, waking up required some ingenuity. While lying in bed one morning, Nanda realized that the alarm clock was long overdue for a makeover. It didnt have to be a black box that stared blankly at you, often failing at the job it claimed to do. Fusing her love of aesthetics with her passion for fixing things, Clocky was born.
