About
Ganance is a Chicago-based wearable technology startup creating what it calls 'Invisible Tech' — smart features that integrate seamlessly into traditional watches without altering their appearance. Its flagship product, the Heir, is a small sensor that attaches to the caseback of any watch using suction, adding activity tracking, step counting, haptic notifications, and media controls. The device pairs with an iOS and Android companion app and integrates with Apple Health and Google Health Connect. Ganance shipped its first 1,000 pre-orders in late 2025 and is preparing a Spring 2026 release of version 2. The company is a Chicago Innovation Award winner and has been incubated at mHUB.
