Reach - Who We Are

Born out of MIT, Reach is deeply rooted in technology and design. Reach started in a classroom, became a basement lab experiment, and eventually a startup. Since then, we’ve been busy building the industry’s first industrial-scale wireless power-at-a-distance solution. The Reach solution transforms the way the world will think about power distribution.

Much has changed since our early days, but our core philosophies are the same. Decisions are made quickly, meetings and politics are kept to a minimum, and everyone's work directly influences our product and company. We have weekly team lunches, quarterly offsite company events, and often spend time together outside of work bicycling, rock climbing, playing music, and hosting happy hours.

We highly value diversity at our company – in not only professional capabilities and experience, but also in personal interests, schools of thought, and walks of life. We prioritize inclusivity, and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
