Kokoon Technology is a developer of sleep monitoring headphones and a companion sleep application that provides wireless sleep buds designed to help users fall asleep and stay asleep through intelligent noise masking, biosensor-driven audio fading, and sleep monitoring. The company's sleep headphones feature soft, ultra-thin earbuds suitable for all sleeping positions including side sleepers, with five sizes of extra-soft silicone ear tips and an over-ear loop design to prevent displacement during sleep. Built-in biosensors detect when users are falling asleep and automatically fade audio, while also enabling sleep pattern tracking through the Kokoon companion app. The app offers a library of specialist sleep audio including meditations, soundscapes, binaural beats, and personalized recommendations, along with sleep quality insights and analytics. The technology has been commercialized through a partnership with Philips, with the product sold as Philips Sleep Headphones featuring the Kokoon companion app and biosensor functionality. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, Kokoon Technology has raised $4.6 million in Series A funding from investors including HAX, Crowdcube, Seedrs, SOSV, Breed Reply, Blackfinch Ventures, British Design Fund, QVentures, Deswal Investment Group, and 9.58 Venture Partners.
