THE STORY OF CLOCKY

Clocky was created by Gauri Nanda in 2005, while she was a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For Nanda, an over-sleeper who was routinely late for morning classes, waking up would take some ingenuity. Laying in bed one morning, Nanda realized that the alarm clock was long overdue for a makeover. It didn't have to be a black box that stares at you blankly, often failing at the one job it purports to do. Fusing her love for aesthetics and her passion for fixing things, Clocky was born.

YOUR MORNING, EVOLVED

We spent two years on research & development to engineer the perfect alarm clock for the heavy sleeper.

2006

Gauri was still a student when Clocky was born, so she spent the next year figuring out how to put a product on the market. She bootstrapped her new venture, and launched Clocky in late 2006. The lovable clock now wakes up millions of over-sleepers around the world every day.

Almost overnight, Gauri's prototype went viral when a blogger posted Clocky on a popular tech blog. Clocky and his founder travelled everywhere together becoming media darlings, gracing the cover of Inc. magazine, and skirting around the stages at the Ellen Degeneres show, The Today Show, and Good Morning America.

Gauri gave thousands of interviews for publications, tv shows, and radio stations - everywhere from the New York Times and Forbes to BuzzFeed and NPR. Gauri and Clocky were even a question on Jeopardy.

Gauri most recently started Toymail with her best friend, Audry, to re-imagine the mobile phone for kids. You might have seen Gauri pitch Toymail (and speak about Clocky) on her recent appearance on Shark Tank.
