So the technology and concept looks interesting but there is no info on the people / company behind it. Personally I need to know who I am investing in as well as what I am investing in.

Will you be releasing information to confirm your ability to complete the project?

This is a good question and will be answered. Not at this point though, but before start of the seed investment, we're still discussing.

It should also be noted, that the plan has not been laid out completly yet.
At this point there is more important question than our identity though. We have shown, that the technology we describe is in principal possible, at least on the physical side. What is missing and the real innovation, is the crypto infrastructure. Without it, lock and key would need a centralized infrastructure, which would make them ultimately impractical, as the support cost of such infrastructure would drive the cost for the system to levels which are not sustainable for smaller devices.

As was stated earlier, lock and key solutions can in principal be build by any company. The more important aspect is the protocol on top of bitcoin, which will offer a public available infrastructure to support the lock devices. The whitepaper on the protocol will be published in about two weeks time from now.

To satisfy part of your question though, I can reveal experience we call our own.
We have access to

6+ years of mechatronical/microsystem engineering (cross section engineering discipline, most prominently utilized in the car industry)
8+ years of math/physics (not very practical on its own, but does wonders when connecting the dots, filling the gaps and when an engineer asks "can I actually do that?")
12+ years of coding in C++/Java (Pretty obvious what that is good for)

How long our design guy has been around I am not sure of, but you can tell from the picture in the thread start, that it is quiet a while. On the other hand, it is not that important.

edit:
It should be noted that the experience information provided above, is more than most other projects offer. Projects like syscoin and swarm have pretty smiling faces, but don't provide any relevant information on the qualification of the team members.
We might go that way though, as it creates a lot more trust and thus investment. It depends on the final assesment of the required seed ressources. We hope to convince investors through offered concepts and their implications though. That approach is more sincere than pretty pictures.
