Augmate was founded as a wearable technology company by Pete Wassell in July 2013.[1] It has since evolved into a device management platform and launched Augmate Connect for devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) in 2017. The company originally developed applications for the workplace: connecting enterprise databases to wearable devices that include Glass, Vuzix M100, Epson Moverio, Kopin Golden-i,[2] or Optinvent ORA-S.

Augmate's Insights Platform visualizes the data sent to and collected via devices to extract actionable information for workers and managers.[3]

Augmate provides developer tools through a software development kit and a data visualization platform. The platform is device-agnostic meaning that it can handle a variety of devices because it depends only on universal properties shared by all devices.[4][5]

The company is based in New York City.[6]

## History[edit]

Augmate raised a $2.8 million seed round of financing in September 2014 from investors that include UPS Strategic Enterprise Fund, Siemens Venture Capital, Simon Venture Group, Rothenberg Ventures, Excell Partner, Camp One Ventures, FP Angels, and more[7][8]

In October 2014, Augmate became a Certified Glass at Work Partner, a developer network authorized to deliver enterprise solutions for Glass.[9][10][11][12]
