Superangel's portfolio company Doublepoint, a Helsinki‑based company that specialises in AI‑driven biometric and gesture-recognition technology enabling people to control devices with simple, natural movements,
has been acquired by ŌURA.The acquisition will strengthen ŌURA's long-term innovation roadmap, supporting future offerings while advancing more intuitive ways for people to interact with technology in their everyday lives.
With this acquisition,
ŌURA is gaining an exceptional team of AI architects and builders from Doublepoint, including its four founders. This team pioneered biometrics-based interaction for next-generation computing platforms, and they will be central to designing and shipping the AI-led experiences that will define ŌURA's future. The team will be primarily based in Helsinki and will work closely with ŌURA teams worldwide.
"As we continue to build the next era of ŌURA, strategic acquisitions play a key role in accelerating our growth and expanding what our devices and platform can do," said
Tom Hale, CEO of ŌURA. "
Welcoming the Doublepoint team into ŌURA strengthens our bench with world-class talent, reinforces our long-term commitment to growing in Finland, and helps us move even faster to deliver intuitive, human-first experiences for our members across devices, services, and environments."Ohto Pentikäinen, CEO and co-founder of Doublepoint, commented: "Since 2020, our goal has been to build technology that feels human, using biometric signals and subtle gestures to let people control devices with simple, natural movements. ŌURA shares that belief.
Their mission is to make technology support everyday life quietly in the background, which is exactly where we've always wanted our work to sit."The Superangel team, commenting on the exit on LinkedIn, said: "
We backed Doublepoint early because we believed in the team from day one. Ohto Pentikäinen and the team stood out to us as founders with a rare mix of technical ambition and product intuition, working on a genuinely new way for humans to interact with technology.
Since 2020, they've been building toward a future where gesture-based interaction feels natural, seamless, and truly useful. That combination of technical ambition and product intuition is exactly what drew us to them in the first place."
