August smart lock starts shipping

August, the startup that raised $8 million for its Yves Behar-designed smart lock, started shipping to pre-order customers today after a months-long wait. The existing orders will be staggered throughout the fall with a public availability for later this fall. For insights on the delay check out my podcast with August CEO Jason Johnson. Or you can hear him onstage at Structure Connect in October discussing how he designed the lock for openness.
