CHRIS HERBERT

Founder, CEO

Trackr



Judge

Bio:

Chris​ ​Herbert,​ ​UC​ ​Santa​ ​Barbara​ graduate​ ​and​ ​CEO​ ​and​ ​co-founder​ ​of​ ​TrackR,​ ​the​ ​Santa Barbara-based​ ​pioneer​ ​of​ ​item​ ​tracking​ ​platforms,​ ​has​ ​a​ ​vision​ ​to​ ​automate​ ​the​ ​way​ ​that people​ ​keep​ ​track​ ​of​ ​their​ ​belongings.


When​ ​Herbert​ ​almost​ ​lost​ ​his​ ​car​ ​to​ ​the​ ​Pacific​ ​Ocean​ ​in​ ​2009​ ​because​ ​his​ ​keys​ ​were buried​ ​in​ ​the​ ​sand​ ​as​ ​the​ ​tide​ ​rose​ ​to​ ​swallowing​ ​heights,​ ​he​ ​knew​ ​there​ ​needed​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a new​ ​way​ ​to​ ​locate​ ​items​ ​and​ ​set​ ​out​ ​to​ ​design​ ​a​ ​solution.
From​ ​humble​ ​beginnings​ ​to​ ​selling​ ​more​ ​than​ ​5​ ​million​ ​devices​ ​worldwide,​ ​Herbert​ ​has ed​ ​the​ ​TrackR​ ​team​ ​and​ ​is​ ​credited​ ​as​ ​a​ ​leader​ ​in​ ​the​ ​IoT​ ​revolution.
With​ ​an​ ​expertise​ ​in​ ​crowdfunding,​ ​Herbert​ ​has​ ​effectively​ ​raised​ ​more​ ​than​ ​$2​ ​million via​ ​Indiegogo​ ​campaigns​ ​and​ ​approaches​ ​each​ ​campaign​ ​as​ ​a​ ​way​ ​to​ ​gather​ ​feedback in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​refine​ ​and​ ​create​ ​products​ ​that​ ​truly​ ​improve​ ​users’​ ​daily​ ​lives.


As​ ​the​ ​Santa​ ​Barbara-based​ ​startup​ ​continues​ ​to​ ​grow,​ ​the​ ​focus​ ​of​ ​TrackR​ ​remains​ ​-​ ​totransfer​ ​the​ ​location​ ​database​ ​of​ ​valuables​ ​from​ ​people’s​ ​heads​ ​to​ ​their​ ​phones,
allowing​ ​them​ ​to​ ​focus​ ​on​ ​the​ ​things​ ​in​ ​life​ ​that​ ​will​ ​evolve​ ​us​ ​as​ ​a​ ​community,​ ​ratherthan​ ​spending​ ​valuable​ ​time​ ​looking​ ​for​ ​lost​ ​items.
