The company's team size is over 200 people, with core members from DJI, Xiaomi, the world's top bionic robotics companies, etc., who have deep experience in mechanical design, motion algorithms, artificial intelligence and other fields.

Products and services: consumer-grade exoskeleton matrix covering multiple scenarios

Hypershell's product line is centered on “lightweight, intelligent, and scenario-based”, and has launched three consumer-grade exoskeleton devices to meet different user needs:

1. Hypershell Go X: A basic exoskeleton that focuses on daily commuting and light outdoor scenarios.
   • functionality: Provide leg assistance to reduce the fatigue of walking or standing for a long time, suitable for people in the workplace, car collectors, couriers and so on.
   • performances: The overall weight of the machine is 1.8 kg (including batteries), the maximum assisting torque is 30 Nm, which can offset 30 kg of load and the range is up to 25 kilometers.
2. Hypershell Pro X: A professional-grade exoskeleton designed for hardcore outdoor enthusiasts.
   • functionality: Supports high-intensity sports such as mountaineering, rock climbing, cycling, etc., improves leg strength 40% and extends the mileage.
   • performances: Equipped with M-One high-performance motor with an output power of 800W, it supports automatic recognition of 9 sports modes (e.g. hiking, climbing, rappelling) and has a range of 17.5 kilometers (supports 65W fast charging).
3. Hypershell Carbon X: The flagship exoskeleton, made of carbon fiber and titanium, combines lightweight and durability.
   • functionality: Suitable for extreme environments (e.g. deserts, snowy mountains), providing extra-long range and high-strength support.
   • performances: Further optimized for weight, protection class IP54 and resistance to extreme temperatures from -20°C to 60°C.

Service model::

• Globalized sales: The products cover the European, American and Asian markets through independent stations, Amazon, DrivePro and other channels, and the user groups are extended to outdoor enthusiasts, working people, photographers and so on.
• Customized ExperienceThe Hypershell+ App allows you to adjust the power, monitor the status, and upgrade the firmware to meet your individual needs.

Core technology: AI-driven breakthrough in lightweighting and intelligence

Hypershell's core competitiveness stems from its self-developed technology system, which covers three major areas: architectural design, powertrain, and intelligent algorithms:

1. Omega® Architecture::
   • innovation point: The world's first single-motor drive system, replacing the traditional multi-motor solution, compresses the overall weight to 1.8 kg (weight reduction of 50%) while maintaining 30 Nm of boost torque.
   • dominance: Provides 300° of freedom of twisting through 8 passive joints for more natural and flexible movement, with wearing comfort close to that of ordinary clothing.
2. M-One High Performance Motor System::
   • parameters: Maximum output power of 800W on one side, supporting instantaneous burst enhancement 50% (Hyper mode) at speeds up to 20 km/h.
   • applianceThe “anticipatory boost” is realized by actively increasing thrust when climbing steep slopes and automatically providing slow-impact support when descending steps.
3. Hypershell Motion Engine (HME) Intelligent Systems::
   • AI algorithm: Combining deep learning and real-time motion data acquisition, it monitors human posture through 27 sensors, completes motion trend prediction within 0.01 seconds, and automatically adjusts booster parameters.
   • Scene Adaptation: It supports dynamic switching of 9 exercise modes (e.g. walking, running, hiking) and memorizes the user's over 200 hours of exercise habits to achieve seamless running acceleration and steep hill assistance.
4. AeroFlex SoftSuit Flexible Fixation System::
   • material (that sth is made of): 4 mm multi-layer composite liner, waterproof and breathable, with dynamic torsion vector adjustment up to 300°.
   • experience for oneself: Wear it for a long time without feeling constricted, suitable for all-day outdoor activities.

Main users: full coverage from outdoor enthusiasts to mass consumers

1. outdoor sports enthusiast: In scenarios such as mountaineering, rock climbing, and cycling, the exoskeleton improves 40% leg strength, extends the distance traveled, and reduces physical exertion.
2. working population: Car collectors, couriers, photographers and other occupations that require long periods of standing or heavy lifting, exoskeletons can reduce 30% daily commuting physical exertion and relieve muscle fatigue.
3. Age-friendly population: Adaptation of elderly gait through AI algorithms to provide up and down stair assistance and improve mobility (e.g., collaboration with TikTok Darlings to demonstrate elderly use cases).
4. Extreme Explorer: Flagship products such as the Hypershell X Ultra support extreme environments for professional expeditions.

Development prospects: the golden age of consumer-grade exoskeletons

1. market potential::
   • industry growth: The consumer exoskeleton market is still at an early stage, but the development of embodied intelligence and AI technology is driving its rapid popularization. The global market size is forecast to grow at a CAGR of over 50% from 2025-2030.
   • user education: Hypershell has successfully broken the circle and lowered the threshold of user awareness through channels such as Kickstarter crowdfunding (over 1.2 million dollars in support), TikTok (40,000 followers and over 10.5 million plays on the breakout video), and YouTube reviews (e.g., 420,000 exposures on the video with Sam Pilgrim).
2. Technology Iteration::
   • Product upgrades: The Hypershell X Ultra, released in 2025, makes a generational leap in powertrain and AI algorithms, with lighter and smarter models in the future or in the future.
   • ecological expansionThe company's goal is to build a “human-machine collaboration” ecosystem by opening up API interfaces and cooperating with sports brands and health management platforms.
3. Globalization::
   • Supply Chain Optimization: The Shenzhen production base guarantees large-scale mass production, and the Shanghai R&D center continues to innovate.
   • market penetration: Demand is driven by mature outdoor culture in Europe and the US, and there is great potential in Asian markets (e.g. China) with their well-developed infrastructure.
4. capitalist favor::
   • Financing support: $70 million in Pre-B and Series B financing will be used for lab R&D, supply chain manufacturing, global marketing and channel rollout to solidify industry leadership.
   • Valuation upgrade: With a post-investment valuation of nearly $400 million, it has become one of the most talked about star startups in the primary market.
