Overview
- Temple’s first round totals $54 million at about a $190 million post‑money valuation, with more than 30 employees buying in at par and Goyal committing over ₹100 crore.
- The startup describes a wearable aimed at elite athletes that targets metrics not tracked by existing devices, with reporting tying it to continuous measurement of cerebral blood flow.
- Goyal’s public hiring call lists deep hardware, sensor, neuroscience and ML roles, including analogue electronics, embedded systems, BCI, neural decoding, computer vision and neuroimaging ML.
- Eligibility criteria require body fat under 16% for men and 26% for women, with a three‑month path to qualify under probation, drawing online criticism over potential discrimination.
- The push follows Goyal’s exit from Eternal’s CEO role to pursue high‑risk projects such as Continue Research and LAT Aerospace, with Temple yet to disclose product timelines or detailed specs.
