About
Brady Simpson founded Simtek in 2016. Friends complained about the lack of technology to help monitor and secure weapons. As an alumni of Virginia Tech, he's lived through the tragedy that misuse can bring but knows the realities of gun ownership - it's hard to adopt any technology that could restrict the weapon. Brady founded Simtek to use his technology background to build connected products to help people monitor spaces without worry about connectivity or power, without restricting usage or rights. We're pro 2nd amendment.
We're a global team of 9 people.
Our team has decades of experience building consumer electronics and software - from companies like Facebook, Oculus, Siemens and AVL.
We speak nearly 10 different languages, and write code in dozens more.
