Nail polish robot paints and dries in 10 minutes per hand appeared first on ISRAEL21c. “At some point, we may move on to Amazon and retail.” “Customers will be able to buy the device and the capsules through our ecommerce website,” says Moran. All engineering and design work was done in Israel, while mass production will take place in China for the unit and in Europe for the polish capsules. The company employs 12 people in its offices in Tel Aviv and New York, and is recruiting additional employees. Yet there was no technology to automate it. In a salon, it takes more time and costs a lot,” he says.

Nimble utilizes pioneering technology to scan, paint, and dry your nails in one game-changing device. Investors saw that Nimble has the potential to disrupt a $120 billion market worldwide. The third co-founder, VP of R&D Avichai Mor-Yosef, spent a decade in R&D at HP subsidiary Indigo. Moran, Nimble’s CEO, and Ron Miller, VP of technology, previously co-founded KitLocate, which was acquired by Yandex and led to the establishment of Yandex Israel five years ago. That’s partly because these entrepreneurs are known entities. They already had $10 million in seed money from venture capitalists and angels including - among others - Entree Capital Fund, the LionBird Foundation and Nir Erez, cofounder and CEO of Moovit.

Each set of three polish capsules (30 shades available) costs $10 and covers up to three sessions, depending on the length of the nails and the need for touch-ups. Suggested retail price for the unit is $399. The unit is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled, providing access to software updates for the machine, such as nail art designs.
