Tego was born from a simple question: why should something as common as a wall outlet still feel unsafe, inconvenient, or hard to use?

Founded out of Northwestern University, Tego is reimagining the everyday outlet with a magnetic safety system designed to protect children, reduce tripping hazards, and make power easier to access for everyone. Today, our team brings together experience across product design, engineering, marketing, operations, and growth — all united by one mission: making homes safer, one outlet at a time.
