Esper Bionics is a human augmentation startup co-founded by Dima Gazda, Anna Believantseva, and Ihor Ilchenko, with its US headquarters at WeWork Dock 72 in Brooklyn, NY. The company builds the Esper Hand, a self-learning bionic prosthesis controlled by muscle signals, alongside Esper Control and the Esper Platform, its cloud-based AI software.
Inside Esper Bionics' work:
• Technology that adapts to the user — Esper Hand uses AI and machine learning to predict and adapt to individual movement patterns, becoming more intuitive over time
• Real impact for amputees — the company has helped 150 people to date, including patients who lost hands in the war in Ukraine, with a goal of reaching tens of thousands more
• FDA-approved — Esper Hand has achieved FDA-approved prosthesis status, alongside new investment and partnerships with US O&P clinics
• Built and manufactured in Kyiv, scaled from Brooklyn — the company launched its US headquarters in New York City in May 2022 to work closely with clinicians and users, using WeWork's space for finance, investor relations, clinician partnerships, and demo storage
• A workspace built to match the mission — Esper Bionics cites WeWork's balance of private focus space and collaborative areas as aligned with its own product philosophy of combining design and function
Esper Bionics is one of many mission-driven companies made at WeWork. Learn more about Esper Bionics and how WeWork's flexible workspace solutions helped their business: wework.com/made-at-wework/esper-bionics
