Cuff

Series A in 2015
Update from Elena Tabb about Cuff Vendor Lawsuit (7/26/16): I need to correct the info below about Elena Tabb// Volume & Tone LLC : Volume & Tone LLC along with 4 other companies (not 2) have filed a lawsuit to order the court to force Cuff into bankruptcy. Cuff owed the 5 separate companies over 1.2 million dollars (in addition to some others who did not join the suit). According to our lawyers that was the only way to force Cuff Inc. to open their books to the court so we can investigate though a 3rd part court appointed lawyer if the company misappropriated funs or had any wrong doings. Cuff Inc. and thier investors were hoping to just claim insolvency which would have allowed them to skulk away quietly. By forcing them into bankruptcy the hope is that they will be forced to let the court and eventually our lawyers see where all the money went and if the way the company was handled at the end followed the law. Also I am correcting the below misinformation about my company- My company Volume & Tone LLC (parent Company) and my consulting group LANE TABB ACCESSORIES GROUP did all the design development, sourcing, and Manufacturing for ALL of the actual Jewelry and leather pieces, We spent a year getting her ideas to be working jewelry and fashion leather pieces, manufactured them with our partner factories, shipped every piece that was on pre- order and ordered for target and Amazon and extra stock to Cuff's warehouses so that they could ship. And then they disappeared, After we had paid for the last shipment to our factories with our own money. The damages to our business currently totaling more than you can imagine which we may file a Civil case this Fall. There is a lot more to this story, and I have been quiet for the past few months as we have been collecting information both for lawyers and myself- But I am currently in the process of an article about our experience with the Cuff Product Launch, Working with a Tech startup gone wrong, as well as interesting information about the main investment firm who may or may not have caused the demise intentionally, and a cautionary tale for both Investors and small businesses. The following message appears at Cuff.io,"Unfortunately Cuff is no longer in business and therefore will not be able to fulfill any outstanding orders or process any refunds. If you are currently a Cuff customer your product should continue to function, however there will no longer be any customer or technical support.". The announcement was unexpected, as the first generation & second generation devices can still be found for sale through online retailers like kohls.com target.com & was previously featured on Groupon. A former vendor charged with designing and hand crafting some of the letter pieces the Cuff module fits into, Elena Tabb of Volume & Tone based in NYC, says her and another vendor have filed a suit against Ms Sood & Cuff for $1.2 Million USD, as these vendors allege they were not paid for their work or materials. As this case makes it way through the court system, many customers,fans, & backers are left with more questions than answers. Please Note:POST-CLOSURE DEVICES ARE NOT RECCOMENDED FOR PURCHASE AS APP FUNCTIONALITY, DEVICE SUPPORT, CONNECTIVITY, ETC ARE NO LONGER SERVICIBLE. The purpose of this device was arguably one that needed to be designated as medical and regulated by the FDA-as such, without FDA approval, and since the company no longer offers assistance in anyway, please do not rely solely on these Cuff modules for health and safety reasons. One user who purchased from a 3rd party site reported an inability to create an account or setup her device after downloading the app on compatible devices with Android and iOS respectively. Elena suggests that core Cuff personnel aren't remorseful and one in particular was said to have been given a VP of Finance position elsewhere despite allegedly "mispending $7.5 million in 8 months." Less than 1 year prior to closure, Cuff was announced as having inked a deal with XFINITY HOME, Comcast's connected home solution also featuring Skybell, Rachio, Whistle, Automatic, & August. [Depreciated]Cuff is a new line of jewelry wearables that serves as an alert system for family and friends. The collection consists of bracelets, necklaces and key chains. The line is meant to be unisex, and offers options for both men and women. Each piece is anchored by a small rectangular component called the “CuffLinc.” This acts as an alert system of sorts for family and friends. CuffLincs can be removed and tucked into any of the pieces in the Cuff collection. Using bluetooth technology, the CuffLinc will connect to your phone via Cuff’s app. If A wearer squeezes the Cuff, an alert will go to the designated people in the wearer’s network. If anyone in the network is wearing a Cuff, their Cuff will vibrate. If they don’t have a Cuff, they will receive a push notification to their phone with the alert with the location of the sender. You can set up which of your contacts will get an alert via the startup’s app, which also holds personal and medical information like blood type, health issues and more. Users can also program their Cuffs with different alerts for people (i.e. three taps to alert my babysitter, one tap for my husband).

Zady

Convertible Note in 2013
Zady.com is a shopping platform and lifestyle destination for consumers who care about the origins of the items they purchase. Co-founded by Soraya Darabi (Foodspotting; The New York Times) and Maxine Bédat (The Bootstrap Project), Zady is a New York-based e-commerce brand that will provide customers with information about the conscious consumer movement and the option to purchase beautifully-constructed goods on its website, and later, its iPad application. The items available for purchase were created with craftsmanship and artisanship, qualities that have been sacrificed in a world of cheap prices and fast production. Just as Whole Foods sparked a movement based on the belief that consumers should question where food comes from, Zady is creating a new vision for shopping and is at the forefront of conscious consumerism, which demands transparency for sourced products. Manufacturing transparency is at the heart of Zady; every item sold is from a designer who is conscious of where and how their products are made. Each product is personally vetted by Zady’s founders, using criteria for sustainability, including whether the product is locally-sourced, handmade, uses high-quality raw materials, is environmentally-conscious, or made in the U.S.A. The brands are required to sign a contract verifying the location of the company, the manufacturing city, and the source of the raw materials. However, consumers won’t need to compromise style for a clear conscience. All products sold on Zady are high-quality, timeless in style, and are build to last, withstanding fleeting seasonal trends and the short life-spans of poorly-made “fast fashion” items. As such, Zady will be the arbiter of authenticity-meets-taste for this generation of conscious consumers.
