Alexa is built in for voice control and there is a personalizable high-resolution display for touch control. Want to call the kids down for dinner? There is even a camera with a privacy shutter for room-to-room video chat.

Brilliant was founded by Aaron Emigh, Steven Stanek, and Jeremy Hiatt, all of whom are experienced technology entrepreneurs from the mobile industry. It all started when Aaron began remodeling his home and installed some smart home products. They were great as individual devices, but Aaron soon realized that the more he installed, the worse the experience got. Navigating between multiple apps just to adjust the lights, lock the door, or set the thermostat was complicated. To add to the frustration, controlling the home exclusively through his mobile phone felt unnatural and awkward.
Seeing an opportunity to elevate the smart home experience, Aaron, Steven, and Jeremy teamed up. As they saw it, controlling our home environments should be as simple as flipping a switch. There’s a light switch in every room, and it’s already the home control that we use most often, so it made sense to replace light switches with smart controls that make it easy and natural for you to interact directly with your home. Brilliant is a venture-backed company headquartered in San Mateo, CA. Our notable investors include August Capital, SV Tech Ventures, The Box Group, and Miramar Ventures.
