Michael Belhassen is the Founder and CEO of ANORIA, the world's first wearable device designed to read emotions in real time and enhance emotional intelligence (EQ).

Michael spent 5 years as a Hardware Product Designer at Apple, most recently leading the design of the iPhone 17 Pro Enclosure, where he mastered the discipline of shipping precision hardware at massive scale.

For over a decade, Michael has been driven by a singular obsession: whether human emotion can be scientifically understood and measured, a question that ultimately led him to leave Apple and build ANORIA.

Michael built ANORIA as a solo founder before assembling a five-person team of ex-Apple and ex-Meta engineers and repeat founders, and the company was accepted into Y Combinator's P26 batch.

ANORIA's first prototypes are already being worn by early users in the wild, tracking real-time Flow Scores across Energy, Mood, and Focus to make emotional intelligence trainable for founders and creatives.
