Nathan Mikulin pitching RingMe at GCU Canyon Challenge

Our Story:

In the Spring of 2021 at Grand Canyon University, Nathan Mikulin sat in his entrepreneur class, his mind buzzing with ideas. It was in this class that the spark for a revolutionary concept ignited. Inspired by the convergence of technology and practicality, Nathan dreamed of a world where networking and sharing contact information were seamless, eco-friendly, and stylish. From that visionary moment in class, the concept of a RingMe Smart Ring was born.

Cool Networking:

The RingMe Smart Ring is not just another piece of jewelry; it’s a game-changer in the world of networking and communication. Nathan created a sleek and elegant ring, adorned with a passive Near Field Communication (NFC) chip. This small, invisible chip held the power to transform the way people exchanged contact information, just touch your RingMe Smart Ring to any smartphone and BINGO your contact information is instantly transferred.

More than a Business Card:

The RingMe Smart Ring was designed to replace the traditional, costly, business cards, eliminating the need for paper and making a statement about our commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and convenience. The NFC chip embedded within the ring contains all the information one would find on a business card – name, phone number, address, and email. However, RingMe Smart Ring owners can customize their rings to add purchase links, social media links, and images as well. These rings are self-powered and waterproof, ensuring you can wear them around the clock without the worry of recharging. Stay connected effortlessly and never miss an opportunity to network

 The Magic:

The magic happens when the RingMe ring meets a smartphone. Whether it was an Apple or Android device, the NFC chip communicated seamlessly with the phone, instantly transferring the owner's contact information. It’s a touch-and-go affair, eliminating the need for tedious typing and ensuring no potential connection slipped through the cracks.

Simple, Accurate & Elegant:

The beauty of the RingMe Smart Ring is its simplicity. No more fumbling with pockets or purses to retrieve a business card, and certainly no more awkward exchanges where names were misspelled, or numbers were mistakenly entered. RingMe streamlined the process, making networking an effortless and memorable experience. 

RingMe Community:

The RingMe Smart Ring is the go-to tool used by tech enthusiasts, eco-conscious individuals, corporations, and business professionals. Conferences, business meetings, and social events have become hotspots for RingMe Smart Ring connections.

RingMe has moved from the classroom to become a valuable company housed and supported at Grand Canyon University’s Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

 Thanks to Nathan’s vision and the dedication of the RingMe team, The RingMe Smart Ring has become a powerful tool for fostering connections. The world was now a place where networking is efficient, more fun, and environmentally conscious, proving that sometimes, the smallest innovations could leave the biggest impact.
