The Startup Solving the Smartwatch Problem — Jason Reinhart, Ganance | The Other Plan

There's a watch sitting somewhere in most people's homes that they never wear anymore. Maybe it was a gift. Maybe it was their dad's. Maybe it just stopped feeling useful the moment the smartwatch arrived.
Jason Reinhart's co-founder Alex had one of those watches. His brother bought it for him when he became the first person in his family to graduate college. And then — like most of us — Alex stopped wearing it. Until his brother had a health scare. And suddenly the watch collecting dust in a drawer became the thing that mattered most.
Ganance was built from that moment. A tiny sensor that sticks to the back of any watch case and turns it into a smartwatch. Analog and digital in one. The watch you love, doing everything you need.
In this episode: the founding story behind Ganance, what it means to build a hardware business alongside a full-time job, the B2B to DTC pivot, shipping a thousand units by hand, and the Slack message that got Jason through the hardest moment.
