In high school, Jon Dekar witnessed his Grandfather’s frustration of eating dependently due to Corticobasal Degeneration. As eating is one of life’s great pleasures and a basic human need, Jon expected there would be amazing technologies available to help people eat – they did not exist. With the belief that everyone deserves access to an independent and enjoyable dining experience, he became determined to make his idea a reality for people. Jon and his team introduced Obi to the world after ten years of persistence.
