Beta Production
Right now, we’re deep in quality control on the production line.
As expected with any first large-scale production, we’ve uncovered a number of small issues during assembly and stress testing. Most of the issues have already been resolved and the rest are being worked through to make sure they meet our high standards of quality.
We’ll have a bigger production update coming soon with more detail.
Certifications
We’ve officially passed all required safety and compliance testing to sell in the United States and Canada. That includes electrical safety, radio testing, and SAR testing for body-worn devices.
We’re now waiting on the final regulatory stamps from agencies like the FCC and IC. These stamps are needed before Bía arrives on your doorstep.
Even more exciting, we’ve also passed testing for CE certification in Europe. While we’re not shipping there yet, it's the very first step.
Investment
One of our customers has stepped up to organize a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to make investing easy and accessible. We’ll share more details soon.

What’s Next
Andrew and I will be together this week recording videos covering:
- Timelines
- Onboarding walkthroughs
- Care and washing instructions
- Packaging and what to expect
We’re in the final stretch now and so excited to get these out to you!
We're working on this and will let you know once it's ready.
We've taken all your feedback and put it all together on our website as a dedicated FAQ.
