About the Nest

Nidiant means "about the nest." A nest, like a home, is brought into being for an ancient purpose...the propagation of young and the survival of the species. The creation of shelter is an ancient and effective adaptive strategy throughout the animal kingdom. Thus, habitations that nurture the well-being of their inhabitants have essential value as a fact of nature.

Nidiant Gives Back

In recognition that all human beings share one planet, and must work together to create a better life for all, Nidiant is committed to giving back to the living environment.

The Company has designated a full ten per cent of its pre tax net profit as "Money for Making a Difference". Nidiant’s intention is to “tithe” to well-being of the planet and all that share its living environment.

Nidiant Products

Nidiant has created software that can be used to predict how people respond to the built environments around them. Nidiant's patent-pending software application can identify what consumers consider fitting, appreciate emotionally, and buy - in any industry that must collect consumer response to inform its market.

It can also be applied as a research tool in behavior/environment studies focused on both individuals and communities, and in the future may be adapted as a clinical tool for therapeutic or psychological purposes.
