In this episode of the Raising Tech Podcast, Transforming Technology Culture in Senior Living, powered by Parasol Alliance, Matt Reiners, Chief Growth Officer, chats with Akshita Iyer, Founder and CEO of Ome, about her inspiring journey to create a smart knob that can turn any stove into a safer, smart appliance.

Originally launched under the name Inirv, Ome’s journey began with a simple idea born from a personal experience — retrofitting stoves to prevent kitchen fires and help those aging in place. From a 3D-printed prototype in 2016 to delivering their first product through Kickstarter, Akshita shares the highs and challenges of bringing a hardware product to life, including turning down a Shark Tank deal and navigating complex safety standards.

Ome’s founder and CEO Akshita Iyer talked to Michael Wolf of The Spoon to share her journey with Ome — from developing the first 3D-printed prototype as a side hustle, to launching a Kickstarter and appearing on SharkTank, to now bringing the Gen 2 Smart Knob to market.
