Veterans from studios like Remedy, Digital Chocolate, and Rovio started the company. Investors Petteri Koponen, of Lifeline Ventures, and Nikolaj Nyholm, Sunstone Capital partner, are backing the project. Both have joined Everywear’s board of directors. and Koponen is acting as chairman. Earlier this month, Apple provided all of the details about the Apple Watch, which will launch in April. It will join a market currently filled with a handful of other smartwatches, where gaming is only just starting to take off.
