Flomio is a TechStars-backed startup that provides a platform for building NFC and RFID-enabled applications while continuing to sell NFC tags, stickers and hardware devices. The company began as a side project from founder Richard Grundy and was accepted into the TechStars Cloud incubator. Flomio is shifting its focus from developer tools to popularizing NFC for consumers and targeting specific vertical markets such as art, along with a planned website redesign. Its product approach emphasizes an "instrumented space" model and peer-to-peer NFC capabilities introduced in 2009 to enable device-to-device interactions. Timo Ronan serves as CXO, underscoring the company’s human-centered experience focus. The company recently closed a $525,000 seed round to support its next phase.
