Despite a promising start, Doppler Labs ceased operations in December 2017.[6][7]

Career
Doppler Labs (2013–2017)
Kraft co-founded the now-defunct Doppler Labs with Fritz Lanman in 2013 in New York City.[citation needed] Doppler Labs later relocated to San Francisco and designed and manufactured in-ear computing technology, including earplugs and wireless earbuds.[6] Kraft and Lanman initially promoted it as a breakthrough technology company, raising more than $50 million from venture capitalists and private investors.[6] However, after planning to sell a few hundred thousand units of its main product, the Here One Wireless Smart Earbuds, Doppler only sold 25,000, leaving thousands of unsold units in warehouses.[6] Electronics review sites, such as CNET, also raised questions about the viability of the Here One.[11] Ultimately, due to its inability to mass-produce and sell product, Doppler was unable to raise more capital to fund its continual losses,[6][12] and ceased operations in 2017.[6]
Other projects
Kraft worked for East Greenwich production studio Verdi Productions where he co-produced Inkubus, Infected, and Loosies.[13] Kraft co-produced Bleed for This, a boxing biopic that debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2016.[14][15] In 2011, Kraft Co-Founded Clown & Sunset Aesthetics (CSA) with electronic musician Nicolas Jaar.[16] Prior to founding Doppler Labs, Kraft was a strategic consultant for Google working for John Hanke on a mobile game called Ingress.[citation needed] Kraft also worked for Lyor Cohen during the founding of 300 Entertainment.[9] Kraft worked for Google X for a brief stint from August 2019 to January 2020.
