Graham Dugoni

Graham Dugoni is the founder of Yondr and the pioneer of "phone-free spaces." Dugoni invented a product called the Yondr pouch – a lockable phone pouch that prevents access to your smartphone – that is now utilized by schools, artists, comedians, courtrooms, and other organizations around the world. Dugoni founded Yondr back in 2014, against the backdrop of the tech boom in San Francisco, CA. Surrounded by millions of apps, tech conglomerates, and new smart devices encroaching on every facet of modern life, Dugoni conceived of a simple solution to a very complex problem. He believed that society would need protected places — something akin to National Parks – where the human spirit could thrive in the absence of technology.
