inirv is a company that makes home cooking smarter and safer. inirv makes kitchen stove knobs controlled by an app to prevent accidents. With your phone, you’ll be able to lock or unlock the stove, set cook times and burner settings. And yes, it will automatically shut off the stove if you forget. It works on most gas and electric stoves. The founders of inirv, Ranjith Babu and Akshita Iyer, will pitch their pre-revenue business on Shark Tank on January 7. The odds of them getting a deal is great. They’ve already raised more than $175,000 on Kickstarter and have integrated inirv with Amazon Alexa. So if you’re busy at home, you can simply say, “Alexa, turn my stove off.”
While inirv isn’t available in time for the Shark Tank episode, the company is taking pre-orders. You can reserve one without a credit card. Here are the four packages available: The Starter Kit: 1 sensory hub, 1 knob ($99.99); Economy Kit: 1 hub, 2 knobs ($159.99); Expansion Kit: 1 hub, 3 knobs ($199.99); Complete Kit: 1 hub, 4 knobs ($229.99).
