About August Stock
August builds products that make life simpler, allowing physical environments to seamlessly respond to user behavior. August’s flagship product, the August Smart Lock, is a new lock and access system that allows you to send a virtual key to anyone you choose to have access to your home.
Founded by designer and entrepreneur Yves Behar and consumer technology veteran Jason Johnson, August has raised $10 million in venture funding to-date and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company has opened its cloud platform to trusted developer partners, vetted by August, so they can connect existing things to the platform and help grow the Internet of Things connected world.
