About Arylla
Summary
Arylla makes a printable, chip-less tag that connects physical products to the internet and is scannable by any smartphone. The tag is printed directly onto products through existing commercial printers, replacing chip-based tracking solutions such as NFC. Manufacturers and developers get product-level connectivity without specialized hardware.
Business model
API licensing to developers who build services on top of the tag
Go-to-market
Manufacturers adopt the tag by routing it through their existing commercial printing infrastructure; developers integrate via a licensed API to build consumer- or operations-facing services on top.
From the Y Combinator listing
We connect products to the internet using an invisible, chip-less tag
Arylla has created a printable tag that can be scanned with any phone using our API. We piggyback on legacy commercial printers to get our tag onto products at scale and license our API to developers who build services on top of our tag. We are 10x less expensive and much more scalable than alternatives like NFC.
