Meet your home operating system.
Home security should reinforce your peace of mind. You deserve a sanctuary, one that gives you the freedom to live your life with the people that matter most. That’s why we created something entirely new.
Sauron is an autonomous platform for the perimeter of your home. It works discreetly in the background to reliably identify potential threats in all environmental conditions and it instantly recognizes who’s part of your inner circle.

To complement the technology, Sauron leverages its Intelligent Response and Intrusion Suppression (IRIS) Command Center, staffed 24/7 by exceptionally trained agents with diverse backgrounds in law enforcement, military service, executive protection, and other critical security fields. The team builds relationships with local police departments to ensure a rapid police response to verified security incidents.

Found is an evidence-based weight care platform pioneering integrated support through personalized clinical guidance, expert coaching, online community, and if indicated, prescription medication. We are one of the largest telehealth weight loss clinics in the U.S. having served 250K+ members.
We believe that weight care is complex and goes beyond having the willpower to eat less and move more. We believe in the power of biology, genetics, sleep, stress, mental health and daily habits and we work with each factor to achieve long-lasting results.
Our goals are to address the long-term risks associated with ineffective weight management, to reimagine the narrow and outdated cultural narrative around weight, and to empower our community with tools that will help them find self-acceptance and add years to their lives.
