Tap Systems

About the offering

Tap Systems is raising equity crowdfunding to commercialize its Tap WatchBand, a micro-gesture controller that replaces a standard watch strap and allows users to control AI-enabled smart glasses via subtle finger taps, pinches, and swipes. The company has spent approximately 10 years developing and patenting its gesture-detection technology, holding 9 patents across the US and EU. The WatchBand is engineered to fit standard watch lugs, making it compatible with virtually any analog watch, Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy watch, or Garmin device, with no added bulk. It detects 145+ micro-gestures through a proprietary AI-based gesture engine and connects via Bluetooth to any AI glasses platform, functioning as a standard Bluetooth keyboard and mouse without requiring any custom engineering from glasses manufacturers. The company has shipped over 45,000 units of its Gen 1 and Gen 2 products since 2018, generating $5M+ in direct-to-consumer revenue through Amazon, Walmart, and its own website (TapWithUs.com). It has raised $20M+ across six prior rounds from 7,000+ community investors. Co-founders include CEO Dovid Schick and President Sabrina Kemeny (PhD), who together bring experience including prior exits, a Nasdaq IPO, and NASA backgrounds. The core team is 12 people with no outsourced engineering. Tap's business model has three revenue streams: (1) direct-to-consumer hardware sales through existing retail channels; (2) OEM/licensing partnerships with AI glasses manufacturers who could adopt Tap as their reference input layer or co-market it as an Apple Watch-compatible accessory; and (3) a developer ecosystem via an open SDK for iOS, Android XR, and VisionOS. The company also sees expansion opportunities in military (referencing U.S. Army AR programs including IVAS and Soldier Borne Mission Command), automotive, accessibility, and industrial verticals. The market context cited includes a reported 322% surge in AI glasses shipments in 2025, with Meta selling approximately 7 million pairs of its smart glasses. Citi Research is cited forecasting 105% annual growth in smart glasses shipments through 2030, reaching 112 million annual units and a $40B market by 2030. Google, Samsung, and Apple are all noted as entering or preparing to enter the space. Tap positions itself as a platform-agnostic alternative to proprietary neural input solutions (e.g., Meta's neural wristband), citing universal compatibility as its key competitive differentiator. The current offering is Regulation CF equity crowdfunding at $5.00 per share with a $500 minimum investment and a pre-money implied valuation of $94,649,330. Perks include bonus shares ranging from 15% to 20% depending on investment size and timing, along with physical Tap Band units at higher investment tiers.
