About the offering
CharaChorder is a hardware technology company based in Frisco, TX, that has developed a novel keyboard peripheral allowing users to type individual keys like a standard keyboard or chord multiple keys simultaneously for billions of possible outputs.

The company holds utility patent US11586297B2 and has developed proprietary firmware called the CharaChorder Engine. To date, CharaChorder has shipped over 13,800 products globally, achieved over 100 million organic social media views through viral demos, and has been successfully funded on Kickstarter three times at over 1,000% of goal. The company reports over $1M in revenue over the last 12 months. Notable investors and supporters include MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson), world record stenographer Mark Kislingbury (370 wpm), and several angel investors. The founding team includes CEO Riley Keen (former Toyota, MS Georgia Tech), CTO Matthew Swarts (PhD Georgia Tech, former branch head of ML & Data Analytics), and CFO Monica Keen (former Samsung, MS Computer Science Engineering). The company's go-forward strategy includes licensing the CharaChorder Engine to OEMs and partners, expanding into education, gaming, and accessibility markets, and scaling production and distribution. The current Wefunder campaign has raised $118,918 from 67 investors with a $100 minimum investment. The raise is intended to fund production scaling, improved onboarding experience, and acceleration of technology licensing partnerships.
