WiFi is the new electricity. Outside of the smartphone, it’s the technology we depend on the
most; the foundation for the modern home. It makes our favorite experiences – Netflix, Spotify,
FaceTime – come to life. Without it, almost nothing works.
But at best, WiFi is like death by a thousand cuts: dead zones, painful setup, embarrassing
passwords, equipment that’s a major eyesore. At worst, it fails completely – just as you’re trying
to send that critical file to your boss or firing up the Sonos for your dinner party.
eero is fixing all of this. It’s not easy, which is why we’ve built a world-class team and culture.
We all believe deeply in what we’re doing, and, as importantly, enjoy doing it together.
