I applaud the designs, but this seems a bit outrageous to me. Seems like their target audience is HNWI's that think spending more money == good.
Multisig device that is $1000 with a multisig software solution that costs $200 a month. Targetting the Apple ecosystem solely.
Screenless hardware device so has a lot of the security trade off's that Square's affordable devices have (I think they are targetting $35 or less). I don't even see how you would interact with it. No screen, no battery, NFC, and they say no fear of loss or theft? Seems to be leveraging Apple's multi device ecosystem a lot, which is kind of cool. But then what's the point of the hardware device? Just a $1000 fashion device?
Some interesting ideas here but pointless expensive hardware device and in general this is probably just a marketing page to raise money to build the magic they're selling.

To be fair, if you're an Apple user (and this opaque, closed source product is Apple only), you probably don't care about Privacy :-)

The issue with all the 2/3+ hybrid multisig companies is that they have the xpubs, and have to, otherwise recovery is impossible unless you lost a key but not that key's xpub. This solution is just more bespoke. Admittedly cool. You have to accept the trade-offs. For some people's situation (business, family, living arrangement) it makes quite a bit of sense, just not for mine or DIYers.

Minimalist. Nice. Expensive. Excessive.

Cool looking and clever, but seems like a giant T-shirt that reads: "I have money, rob me now."
