Helium
Helium is a San Francisco-based startup that is planning to use cryptocurrency as a way to incentivize the build-out of a low-power, global IoT network. More specifically, the company is using blockchain technology to build a decentralized machine network that compensates consumers and businesses who buy a gateway from Helium and provide connectivity to nearby devices. The startup has raised nearly $40 million from Google Ventures, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Khosla Ventures and other investors.
