About Orion

Orion is a personalized smart mattress cover that tracks your sleep and uses AI to cool and heat your body to the perfect core body temperature cycle. The mattress cover has embedded sensors that track biological signals such as heart rate and breath rate, turning that into advanced sleep insights without the need of a wearable.

The team has a combination of technical, marketing, product, operational, manufacturing, and sleep science expertise. The founding team has previously built and sold businesses that currently exceed $2 billion in value, are doing over $700 million in revenue, and have over 25 million users.

Culture

Orion is a zero-bureaucracy move-fast culture. Everyone on the team is hired and empowered to have complete ownership over their area of expertise.
