About The Company

Our Mission

Uncharted Play is on a mission to democratize energy access worldwide. From our developments in consumerizing kinetic energy to our STEM initiatives that promote social invention, we believe in utilizing technology as a means of empowerment.

Founded in 2011, Uncharted Play creates super-efficient, multi-microgenerator energy systems that can be scaled to power large infrastructure systems such as off-grid electricity power-packs, sensors, wifi, and lighting.

These microgenerators can be found in Uncharted Play’s first products, the SOCCKET and PULSE, which are an energy generating soccer ball and jump rope that can be used to power small appliances after play. These products, through the company’s impact platform, promote physical activity and spread awareness about the global energy problem.

Our Technology

MORE (Motion-based, Off-Grid, Renewable Energy) is Uncharted Play’s proprietary technology for scalable multi-microgenerator energy systems. The building blocks of the MORE platform consist of 3 core motions for kinetic energy harnessing, combined with a specialized aggregation circuitry. With MORE, Uncharted Play creates efficient energy systems that can power infrastructure and consumer goods.

Our Community

We are not your typical startup community... From our Beyoncé dance breaks during team meetings to our Game of Thrones analogies at strategy sessions, we believe in redefining the concept of “work” by making play an integral part of our day-to-day operations and style.

Our community is vibrantly diverse with teammates hailing from all over the world, from Ecuador to Nigeria, straight into our cozy brownstone headquarters - The Playhouse - in Harlem, New York City. We aspire to be real life superheroes of the 21st century, and as such, we are a team that intensely pushes each other to grow through providing direct feedback and maintaining high expectations that drive excellence in executing our mission to change the world.
