Memova ODM Hardware Partnership

Decision

Present Memova to ODMs as a Memory OS and agent-action system spanning five hardware entry points, not as a buyer seeking a quote for one commodity recorder.

Primary message:

One software system, five hardware entry points. Each device captures a different part of real-world context, while Memova turns that context into durable memory and user-confirmed action.

The five current consumer price directions are:

These are retail price directions, not target BOMs or final commitments.

ODM Added Value

Memova can help an ODM move from one-off manufacturing into reusable AI-native reference designs:

• software differentiation and potential ASP uplift;
• one customer relationship expanding across multiple SKUs;
• post-sale feature updates and recurring software value;
• privacy, consent, local-first processing, user confirmation, and secure data interfaces designed into the device;
• global professional-user positioning and a joint AI-hardware case study;
• aggregated, consented product feedback informing the next hardware generation.

The product distinction is not recording or transcription alone. Memova links captured input to people, projects, decisions, commitments, preferences, and next actions, then writes corrections and outputs back into memory.

Priority Customers

1. Meeting- and communication-heavy professionals: founders, sales, consultants, recruiters, real-estate agents, project managers, and other high-time-value users.
2. Higher-education students and researchers; UNESCO reported 269 million higher-education students globally in 2024.
3. ADHD, LD, ND, caregivers, and other users who benefit from low-friction capture and reduced execution burden.
4. Field and first-person workflows such as real estate, service, training, design, logistics, content creation, and education.

Public Market Signals

• IDC: 611.5M wearable devices shipped globally in 2025.
• Omdia: open wireless stereo exceeded 10M units in Q3 2025 and is forecast at 40M units in 2026.
• EssilorLuxottica: more than 7M Meta-partnered AI glasses sold in 2025.
• IDC: display-less smart glasses shipped about 2.25M units in Q1 2026, up 167% year over year.
• Plaud: more than 1.5M users since 2023; its Japan profile reported cumulative device shipments above 1M in June 2025.
• Microsoft: generative AI reached 17.8% of the global working-age population in Q1 2026.
• Gallup: 50% of US employees used AI at least occasionally and 28% used it several times weekly or more in February 2026.

These figures are adjacent-market signals, not Memova sales forecasts or a sum-of-markets TAM.

Illustrative Revenue Logic

At an example product mix of 30% recording card, 20% watch clip, 25% clip-on headphones, 15% glasses, and 10% pen, the weighted consumer price is about US$168.5.

• 10k annual devices: about US$1.69M retail hardware value.
• 100k: about US$16.85M.
• 500k: about US$84.25M.
• 1M: about US$168.5M.

These are arithmetic scenarios only and exclude software or team-service revenue.

Recommended Partnership Ask

Frame early support as strategic co-investment rather than asking bluntly for 1,000 free units:

• reduced or shared NRE;
• sample, tooling, or certification cost rebated against later POs;
• strategic-cost support for the first 500-1,000 units;
• milestone-based pricing, capacity, and engineering support;
• a reusable reference design that can expand to a second and third form factor.

Memova contributes product definition, Memory OS, knowledge base, agent workflows, software updates, global user testing, brand/GTM, and a multi-SKU roadmap. The ODM contributes hardware reference designs, acoustics, antennas, low power, thermal/structural/DFM, firmware interfaces, certification, pilot production, and scale manufacturing.

External-Claim Guardrails

• “World first” may be used only for Memova's specifically defined Personal Superalignment platform category framing. Do not broaden it into claims that Memova invented personal AI memory, LLM Wiki, knowledge bases, or AI alignment.
• The earlier US$1.5M financing target is historical planning language and must be refreshed against completed financing before reuse.
• Founder revenue history, team roles, and academic credentials require approved public wording.
• Medical, legal, and accessibility use cases are research/target markets, not clinical or professional efficacy claims.

Approved Team And Capital Presentation

• Present Sun Mingyu, Du Tianwei, Chen Chen, and Cheng Yang as four equally important core founding-team members with equal visual and narrative weight.
• Sun Mingyu's prior company reaching US$30M annual revenue in year three is founder track record, not Memova revenue.
• Company-confirmed completed investment/support: Silicon Valley USD fund and MiraclePlus.
• Current outreach/relationship development: Sequoia Capital and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). These two must never be placed in the completed-investor area or described as invested.
• Capital and ecosystem content appears after the growth-plan section in the ODM artifact.

Working Artifact

Full Chinese ODM introduction and COO talk track:

[local workspace]

Verified single-file HTML company and partnership introduction:

[local workspace]

The HTML embeds the official Memova logo from the project asset, separates software-platform advantages from the five hardware forms, distinguishes company facts/public market data/planning scenarios, and supports desktop, mobile, and print layouts.

Hidden Website Deployment

• Live direct URL: https://memova.ai/odmpartnership
• Cloudflare Pages production deployment: a220f54f
• Deployment URL: https://a220f54f.memova.pages.dev
• Website source: [local workspace]
• The route is intentionally absent from homepage/navigation links and includes noindex, nofollow.
• Verified on 2026-07-10 at desktop width 1440px and mobile width 390px: clean route redirect, title, official logo, four team cards, five hardware forms, mobile navigation, no horizontal overflow, and no browser console warnings/errors.
• 2026-07-12 regression fix: the SEO/GEO production deployment 7b93a0f introduced real Cloudflare 404 responses from a separate worktree that did not contain the then-untracked ODM static page. Added the page to the SEO/GEO branch, added /odmpartnership -> /odmpartnership/ redirect and route-level X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow, and deployed production build c5517791. Verified both URL forms with an iPhone/WeChat user agent and in a 390x844 browser viewport.

2026-07-12 Hybrid Brief And CMO Profile

• New hybrid ODM brief: [local workspace]
• New standalone CMO profile: [local workspace]
• The hybrid brief combines the original company-strength narrative with the team's concrete first-project package, engineering boundaries, ODM economics, and execution gates.
• Team section now has five equal members in this order: Sun Mingyu, Du Tianwei, Jiang Weili, Chen Chen, Cheng Yang. Jiang Weili appears immediately after the CTO as CMO for engineering credibility, brand, market growth, and industry ecosystem.
• Recording card is Phase 1A and clip-on headphones are Phase 1B. The 90-180 day path is a proposed validation window with explicit assumptions rather than an unconditional delivery commitment.
• Restored terminal-customer and order-path logic; removed capital-due-diligence language as a first-batch hardware purpose.
• The standalone CMO page uses a self-contained initials treatment because the supplied profile referenced a missing portrait file. It includes a claim-context disclaimer for supplied academic, award, project, and product-metric information.
• These two files are working artifacts only and have not replaced or been deployed to /odmpartnership/.
• 2026-07-12 deployment update: replaced the live /odmpartnership/ page with the five-person hybrid brief and published the standalone CMO profile at https://memova.ai/team/weilijiang/. Both routes are hidden direct links, support slash and no-slash forms, and use HTML plus response-header noindex, nofollow. Cloudflare Pages production deployment: b5b7f8fd; local commit: 30a47db. Verified both pages at 1440x900 and 390x844 with no horizontal overflow or browser console warnings/errors.

2026-07-13 Local Review Update

• Expanded the proposed first-round cooperation/validation scope from recording card and clip-on headphones to three products: recording card, clip-on headphones, and smart glasses.
• Replaced public consumer-price figures with directional product tiers: recording card 入门级, watch clasp 主流级, clip-on headphones 主流级, smart glasses 专业级, and Memova Pen 奢侈品级.
• Review artifact: [local workspace].
• Source branch: codex/seo-geo-foundation; implementation commit: bf26df9.
• Passed 20 tests, TypeScript checking, production build, 11-page SEO verification, source/build checksum comparison, and desktop/mobile browser QA.
• This revision is intentionally not deployed. It is waiting for user confirmation before replacing the live /odmpartnership/ page.
• 2026-07-13 deployment update: after user confirmation, deployed the approved review revision to the Cloudflare Pages main production branch. Production deployment: ad5c409a; deployment URL: https://ad5c409a.memova.pages.dev; live route: https://memova.ai/odmpartnership/.
• Post-deploy verification confirmed 200 responses for the deployment URL, slash route, and no-slash redirect with desktop and iPhone/WeChat user agents; the response keeps X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow, the old US-dollar prices are absent, and the approved three-product scope and five product tiers are live.
• Browser QA at 1440x900 and 390x844 confirmed the live page renders without horizontal overflow or framework error overlays.
• 2026-07-15 production-source repair: merged the latest Google OAuth Privacy Policy update, SEO/GEO foundation, approved ODM page, and Jiang Weili profile into GitHub main. Final production commit: c96bf52; Cloudflare Pages deployment: 0b1be4de (https://0b1be4de.memova.pages.dev).
• Added scripts/verify-production-source.mjs and pnpm run check:production-source to reject dirty or untracked production inputs, plus a guarded pnpm run deploy:production sequence that tests and builds before pushing GitHub main and deploying Pages.
• Final live verification confirmed /odmpartnership/ contains the three approved first-round products and five product tiers, contains no old US-dollar prices, and retains X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow. /team/weilijiang/ is also restored, tracked in Git, and protected by the same noindex header.
• Desktop 1440x900 and mobile 390x844 browser QA showed no horizontal overflow, framework overlay, or console warnings/errors.

2026-07-14 Professional ODM Q&A Artifact

• Created a dedicated executive Q&A package for five common ODM diligence questions: technical ownership and project governance, AI audio/platform pre-research, customer/channel strategy, finished-goods ODM/JDM purchasing, and the Hangzhou contracting entity.
• HTML: [local workspace].
• A4 PDF: [local workspace].
• The artifact frames Memova as retaining product definition, AI/software, interface control, user relationship, and final acceptance while the ODM owns platform engineering, hardware, BSP/drivers, certification, quality, and manufacturing scale.
• Added an internal review mode for claims that require evidence before external use, especially named European retail relationships, customer-intent stage, the assigned project owner, and the final contracting/export structure.
• Verified at 1440x900 and 390x844 with no page-level horizontal overflow or console errors; review-mode interaction works; the PDF renders as 10 A4 pages with complete Chinese text and an unclipped RACI table.
