About Kimba

Kimba is a New York-based sleep-technology startup building an AI-powered bedside device that delivers personalized scent therapy through the night. The device monitors biometric signals such as breathing, movement and heart-rate variability via built-in sensors and integrations with wearables (Oura, WHOOP, Apple Watch, Garmin), then times plant-derived scent cues to the user's sleep state to support deeper, drug-free rest. Founded in 2023 by Ben Fuxbruner and Gabi Beck, the company pairs olfactory neuroscience with adaptive AI and sells via a hardware-plus-subscription model.
