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.

A proud moment for the Skip and Arc'teryx teams!
Founder & CEO, On a mission to help a billion people move | ex-Google X | Stanford GSB | Harvard HKS | ex-McKinsey | StartX founder | DeepTech Investor
I'm excited to announce that our first product, MO/GO, is now one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2024! It reflects years of hard work from the Skip and Arc'teryx Equipment teams as we build the new #movewear product category to help people move. There is innovation in almost every aspect of the product from how it connects to your body, to the ultralight #robotics, to the advanced AI controls. MO/GO is available for pre-order now, and a limited number of rental slots, as we continue to refine our movement software and scale our manufacturing. More MO/GOs coming soon to support adventures big and small! https://lnkd.in/gagK36S8 https://lnkd.in/gsP83qYw #mogo #tech #wearables #startups

After a successful launch, Skip is gearing up to scale, and are starting #hiring. Please share with anyone who you think would be excited about building a new product category of #movewear and selling the largest fleet consumer wearable robotics that help a billion people move! This role will be the joint-most senior software role on the team, and are looking for exceptional people capable of both designing our systems from the ground up, and getting their hands dirty coding most of the day. More roles will be posted later in the year after we've decided a broader roadmap. #jobs #exos #tech #c++ #software #rust #iot #softwarejobs #robotics

Arc'teryx's latest Obsessive Design episode gives a sneak peak into the journey behind #MOGO, including some recent user testing. My favourite moment is Trish saying it had been twenty years since she was up this mountain: "I didn't think I would do [this hike] again... but here I am!" These are the stories that motivate us to keep at Skip making #movewear better and better, so that movement can be more joyful for more people. PS. My least favourite moment is all the bits with me in it! but Anna Roumiantseva and Cameron Stuart, P.Eng. carry the show #tech #fashion #wearables #exos

“After only an hour of living with robotic legs, I have zero doubt that mini exoskeletons like MO/GO will soon be an essential part of our lives—especially for those who have difficulty walking.” This week Skip unveiled the MO/GO, the world’s first piece of “powered clothing,” built using technology developed at X. In collaboration with outdoor gear company Arc'teryx, the MO/GO uses sensors and power to help people walk, hike, and climb stairs with ease—or, as Skip describes it, “an e-bike for your body.” Fast Company’s Global Design Editor, Mark Wilson, was one of the earliest people to try the MO/GO on for size. Here’s what he thought: https://lnkd.in/dH__Fwqm.
