Emerge is a consumer technology company building a multi-sensory communication platform to bridge distance and time—through touch, sight, sound, and brain activity, powered by emotion AI, to allow users to digitize and transmit their emotions. With over 2 billion people worldwide feeling disconnected from others—one of the greatest life hazards of our generation—it's time for a new communication platform that focuses on what really matters: our emotional connection with others.

The first step is to introduce touch to virtual interactions—via TVs, AR, and VR displays. Emerge Wave-series is the anchor product line for the emotion AI. The patented consumer device emits precise ultrasonic forcefields that can be physically felt with bare hands—imagine a “virtual high five” or holding hands across the globe, with no gloves or controllers needed.

We are proud of our impact-focused and diverse team—70% of us are immigrants and first-generation Americans. We are former entrepreneurs and industry veterans who have developed and launched products in the fields of consumer electronics, augmented reality, brain-computer interfaces, gaming, and space exploration.

Founded in 2015 and based in Los Angeles, CA, Emerge is backed by venture capital firms including M13 and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s Vulcan Capital, and other notable investors such as former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and co-founders of Blizzard Entertainment, Twitch, and Riot Games.
