Company Overview

Deako is a technology company that develops and manufactures modular smart lighting systems. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Seattle, WA, the company's patented "plug-n-play" light switches allow homeowners to easily upgrade from basic switches to smart, connected ones without needing an electrician. The smart switches can be controlled via a mobile app, voice assistants like Google Home and Amazon Alexa, and integrate with smart home platforms. Deako's primary go-to-market strategy involves partnering with large-scale homebuilders, such as D.R. Horton, to install its backplates as a standard feature in new homes, making the entire home "smart-ready". This allows homeowners to personalize their lighting with various smart and simple switch modules after moving in. The company is venture-backed and has raised approximately $50 million to date.
