Unlimited Tomorrow was an Rhinebeck-based[1] American company that manufactured low-cost, high-quality robotic limbs.[2]
The low-cost prosthetic effort was started by Easton LaChappelle, an entrepreneur who founded Unlimited Tomorrow when he was 17.[3] LaChappelle eventually met author/business strategist Tony Robbins, who gave him the initial starting capital to create Unlimited Tomorrow in 2014.[4]
The company ran a crowdfunding campaign in 2018 and it raised $1.6 million from 1,200 investors in 30 days.[5]
TrueLimb is a bionic arm[6] and it was launched in 2020.[7]
The prosthetic is controlled using muscles within the residual limb.[8] The arms were made with dozens of sensors, an Arm M4 processor and rigid skin produced on a 3D printer.[9] The prosthetic arm can be 3D scanned, match the other arm identically, and comes in 150 different skin tones.[10] A traditional device can cost up to $80,000 but a TrueLimb costs $8,000, largely because there's no middleman involved.[11]
In 2022-2023, the company helped raise nearly $370,000 on GoFundMe to provide upper-limb prostheses to Ukrainians.[12]
