Gaming enthusiasts and professional gamers play computer games too much and too intensely, which is not healthy. This leads to both emotional and physical health issues. One of the most common problems is wrist strain and pain, which can result in carpal tunnel surgery and the end of a gaming career. Grindclaw ergonomic gloves were developed in collaboration with professional esports athletes. Their effectiveness has been medically proven in tests conducted at the Occupational Safety and Environmental Health Institute of Riga Stradiņš University (RSU DDVVI). People working in the IT sector also spend too much time at the computer, so Grindclaw gloves are also beneficial in this field, helping to protect everyday computer users from the risk of occupational diseases and the effects of wrist strain.

Grindclaw is a startup founded in 2022. It completed the BuildIt accelerator, receiving pre-seed investments, and was one of the first to successfully complete the LIAA Prototech program.
