CANDY HOUSE, Inc.is an American multinational company headquartered in Palo Alto,California that designs, develops and sells innovative smart devices, computer software, online services and consumer electronics. CANDY HOUSE, Inc. was founded by Stanford students Ku Che-Ming and Shin Jong Ho(신종호) in June 3, 2014. In 2010, CANDY HOUSE, Inc. invented its first product Sesame US1, adding a new contribution to the smart home revolution.

2014-16：Founding
In 2014, Ku Che-Ming and schoolmates Sung june Jang(장성준) and Gary Chang raised money to buy a 3D Printer. They made a prototype of a lock-opening robot, because they didn't want to bring keys with them everywhere. On February 25, 2015, Candy House, Inc. started a project on the fundraising platform, Kickstarter, to launch its first project concept, Sesame US1. The concept of a small robot that could change ordinary locks into Smart locks was never seen before. Thus, in less than 60 days, it was backed around $1.4 million by 7,493 people around the world.

Kickstarter Shipping delay
Candy House, Inc. promised backers that once the campaign was over, it would ship out immediately, but the shipping date was delayed numerous times without claiming reasons. Many backers became restless and were worried that they would not get their pledge.

Jabez LeBret, a reporter from Forbes, decided to do some investigation on this matter. At the end of January 2016, 7 months after the campaign, some backers finally started receiving Sesame US1.
