The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Tile was founded in 2012 in California. Mike Farley made the first tracking device. It was a small square that found lost keys and wallets. The product worked by Bluetooth. Users could ring their Tile to locate it. The device became known overnight. Tile grew into the leading lost-item tracker in America. They expanded beyond wallets to shoes, bags, luggage. The company now operates globally. Tile remains the standard for finding what matters. Today they track millions of items weekly. One of 6649 brands tracked across major AI systems.
