Chirp is a Draper, UT based health and wellness company, with a focus on developing simple pain relief devices.

The company’s flagship product, the Chirp Wheel+, is a cylindrical back roller, and the only product of its kind registered with the FDA as a class I medical device.

History
Chirp was founded in Orem, UT, originally as Plexus Co., by entrepreneur Tate Stock, the company’s CEO.

Stock launched Chirp during his final semester at Brigham Young University. He developed the company’s first product, the Plexus Wheel, with $450 of PVC sewer pipe and yoga mat-style foam. That initial batch sold for $12,000 within one week.

Its first year, Plexus Co. generated $180,000 in revenues.

In 2018, following the success of the first Plexus Wheel, the company developed the Plexus Wheel+, a back pain relief device, since rebranded the Chirp Wheel+. Financed through a crowdfunding campaign, the Chirp Wheel was the most backed project in the pain management category and the third highest in the State of Utah overall.
