## What this company is

- Founded 2015 by Sam Owen; based at 200 Massachusetts Ave NW, Floor 7, Washington, DC 20001.
- Sole product line: the OtoBand wearable, built on the company's nVRT / vestibular-masking
  technology. It holds an FDA Breakthrough Device designation and is a PRESCRIPTION,
  investigational device — not cleared for general commercial sale.
- Clinical program spans 600+ subjects with no reported serious adverse events, plus an
  at-home telehealth vertigo study; the technology has also been studied for motion
  sickness (validated with Jaguar Land Rover in 2018) and for VR cybersickness.
- Backed by Morningside Ventures ($20M Series A), Mark Cuban Companies, a $3.3M seed round
  and a group of ENT physician investors.
- Leadership: Dan Wagner (CEO), Kevin Franck (Chief Clinical Officer), Jon Akers (CTO,
  co-founder), Didier Depireux (Chief Science Officer, co-founder), Sam Owen (founder).

## API surface

Otolith Labs publishes **no public API**. As of 2026-08-26 an enrichment pass found:

- No developer portal, API reference, documentation site, SDK, CLI, or Postman collection.
- No OpenAPI, Swagger, GraphQL SDL, AsyncAPI, gRPC/protobuf or WSDL contract at any probed
  location on otolithlabs.com or otolith.com — /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml, /swagger.json,
  /v1/openapi.json, /api-docs, /api, /docs, /redoc, /graphql and /apis.json all return 404.
- No conventional API subdomains: api./app./developer./docs./portal.otolithlabs.com are all
  NXDOMAIN.
- No MCP server and no A2A agent card; /.well-known/agent-card.json and
  /.well-known/agent.json both return 404, as does every other /.well-known/ path probed.
- No first-party packages on npm, PyPI or the other public registries, and no GitHub
  organization (github.com/otolith, /otolithlabs, /otolith-labs are all 404). The npm
  package named "otolith" is an unrelated third-party JavaScript tilt-control library.
- The only machine-readable endpoint on the domain is the default WordPress core REST API
  at https://otolithlabs.com/wp-json/ (namespaces wp/v2, oembed/1.0, divi/v1, wordfence/v1,
  wpaas/v1 and other plugin routes). That is CMS scaffolding shipped by WordPress and its
  plugins, not an API this company designed, documented, or supports, and it is deliberately
  not cataloged as an Otolith Labs API.

This is an honest zero, not a gap in the profile: Otolith Labs manufactures a physical
prescription medical device, and software is not the product.
