A few months later, Wolverine's lead, Jason Rugolo, spun the project out of Alphabet and formed a startup named Iyo.
Rugolo says the company plans to ship its first product by the end of this year.
Rugolo told BI he hired Kraft for a stint at Google X to work on what would become Iyo.
Iyo isn't the first X project to fly from Alphabet's nest, and it probably won't be the last.
