First-of-its-kind bone conduction audio technology
The amazing bone conduction audio technology translates all sound signals, including music and voices, into vibrations. Because bone conduction is a natural part of the hearing process, this proprietary technology allows you to hear everything without blocking your ears to external sound. This contrasts with what you get from regular headsets and earphones that block your ear canals and prevent you from hearing what is going on around you.
Usable with or without a ski helmet
Whether you’re skiing with or without a ski helmet, you can still use the IceBRKR as you glide happily in the mountains. To use with a ski helmet, you have the option of placing it on top of the helmet or tucking it underneath. The device fits perfectly with all kinds of helmets thus allowing sound to radiate inwards without blocking your ear canal.
Bluetooth 5.0 Mesh Technology
IceBRKR comes with the best of Bluetooth 5.0 MESH intercom technology, giving you the freedom to communicate anytime you need to. With this technology, you can chat with up to 18 skiers within a mile range. In the event of a loss of contact, the device would automatically search for and restore the connection. You also have the freedom to talk to others as a group or isolate your conversations even if you have paired with others in the past.
The perfect lens
IceBRKR boasts a durable and flexible frame that seamlessly adapts to the curves of your face. The internal skeletal system is further designed to minimize the pressure on your nose and facilitate easy breathing.

Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
