Why Investors Backed Thynk
Investors backed Thynk for a video game that players steer with their attention. An EEG headset reads brain waves, and the game Skylar's Run adjusts its difficulty as focus rises and falls, which Thynk sells as training for focus. Its co-founders include Steve Gullans, a biotech investor and former drug company chief executive, and it sells to schools as well as families.
The problem it targets
Thynk sells training for focus and attention to children, young adults and professionals. The game behind it began as a tool for children with ADHD. In 2020 MedCity News described Skylar's Run, then from a company called Atentiv, as a game to improve attention in kids with ADHD.
What the product does
Players wear an EEG headset that measures attention in real time. Skylar's Run adjusts its difficulty on the fly as their attention changes. THYNK K-12 brings the game into schools, and THYNK Wellness sells it to individuals and families.
Who backs it
GFI Partners, a real estate development firm, is represented on Thynk's board by Matthew Dworman, its director of innovation and technology ventures. Thynk has not announced a funding round or named its other investors.
