He and co-founder Leon Sasson were named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, and RISE has surpassed 1 million downloads.
Anjan Katta is the founder and CEO of Daylight Computer Co., a San Francisco-based public benefit corporation building the world's first blue-light-free, high-refresh-rate tablet designed for human health and deep focus. His flagship product, the DC-1, uses proprietary 'Live Paper' reflective LCD technology - patented by Katta himself - to eliminate flicker, reduce eye strain, and strip away the dopamine-exploiting design patterns baked into conventional screens. A Stanford-educated engineer who started the company in 2018 after years of frustration with how screens were affecting human attention and wellbeing, Katta has raised $20 million from tech veterans and sold out every Founder's Edition batch of the DC-1.
