We are a small startup developing powered wearable technology dedicated to helping people move with joy.
About us
Skip is on a mission to make life joyful through powered movement. Movement is a powerful way to build physical, mental and social health. Yet it is elusive for over 2 billion people due to age, injury, or disability. We are building a product that will restore mobility for millions and enable a new frontier of joyful movement experiences. We want to build a future where a grandparent can easily outrun their grandkids and no one is left behind at the trailhead.

Did you know that helping someone with knee pain walk just an extra ~550 steps each day reduces medical costs by 1%, lowers nursing home utilization by 3%, and increase earnings by 10%? In this article I talk more about the huge opportunity to improve our movement, physical and mental health. #aging #HealthyAging #agetech #mobility #tech #aginginplace #fallprevention #arthritis #exos #robotics #exoskeleton

This past week I lost my grandmother - Violetta. She was a lot of things - an architect, an immigrant, a loving wife and mother … but above all else she was a fighter. She fought a decades-long battle with illness with tenacity and grace, and movement was at the center of that battle. Watching her struggle and her determination, and knowing that she is far from being alone in this fight, is what inspires me every day in the work we do at Skip. 🖤
To the Next Adventure - RIP 🖤
