Loop (California Labs, Inc.) designs and sells Wi-Fi-connected digital photo frames for private family photo sharing. The company offers the Loop Original (10.1-inch HD, 16GB, $159.99) and Loop Pro (10.1-inch Full-HD, 32GB, $199.99), both featuring text-to-frame sharing that lets anyone send photos directly to the frame via text message without installing an app. Each frame supports unlimited family contributors, videos up to five minutes, and a free companion app for iOS and Android.
Founded by Brian Gannon, Ethan Ballweber, and Sital Mistry, Loop graduated from the Highway1 hardware accelerator in 2015 and has raised over $8M from investors including Resolute Ventures and Jason Calacanis. The company has served more than 50,000 families and differentiates from smart-display competitors by focusing exclusively on private, ad-free photo sharing rather than general-purpose smart home functionality.
