Early in 2017, Jesus College, Oxford launched a series of entrepreneurial events in the light of turning Jesus College into a entrepreneurial hub. Tien-Tse Chi took part in a entrepreneurial seminar featuring several Jesus College alumni sharing their story of building a business. There were exciting talks given by Dr. Fujia Chen for her SpaceCot and Aron for his Bloom & wilds. Richard Paice (Traverse Trust founder) launched our scholarship for young entrepreneurs in Jesus College, this reminded Tien-Tse Chu of a long lost idea.

“It was ten years ago when I was in high school, and there is a national wide innovation competition held annually in my city. Inspired by the fact that a lot of people around me were victims of mobile phone thefts, I came up with the idea of developing a security mobile phone chain.”

Tien-Tse Chu was awarded their start up fund, and Fujia was assigned to be their project mentor. At that time, the idea was still in it's early stages and Tien-Tse Chu had limited knowledge of industrial design, software and electronic development. However, they were able to build a core team which involved another D.Phil student studying engineering in Oxford, and a high school alumni majored in industrial design. They had their first prototype 3D-printed, and even won a local startup business competition.
