Iron Will Innovations funding
Makers of Peregrine gaming glove to expand horizons.
PALO ALTO, Calif. and LLOYDMINSTER, Canada - Aug. 5, 2010
Iron Will Innovations, the technology company founded to bring revolutionary interface products to the global market, today announced the successful close of a $3MM Series A round of private funding. This initial funding enabled the company to engineer, manufacture, and launch their debut product, the Peregrine glove.
As the company moves into its next phase of growth, Iron Will Innovations has opened a Series B round, with over $2MM in private funds successfully closed thus far. The new capital will allow the company to expand marketing and distribution of the existing Peregrine product and prepare their next generation Peregrine glove which will open up other industries and applications.
In preparation for the next phase of corporate growth, Iron Will Innovations has installed a new C-Level management team. Brent Baier, founder and current CEO, will transition into a new role as CTO, where he will lead the development and evolution of the company's product line. Current COO Tim Barrett will become the new CEO and Dale Flint the new COO.
"What began as a groundbreaking idea to change the way we interact with technology has evolved into a fully realized product, and I am pleased to see our funding progressing to fuel our next stage of growth," said Brent Baier, founder and CTO of Iron Will Innovations. "We have continued successfully raising capital during some very tough macroeconomic times, which I believe to be a great indicator of the market's excitement over our product. As we prepare to move into the next phase of our company's growth I am pleased to welcome Tim Barrett as our new CEO. Tim has led multiple companies to success, and his strong track record bodes very well for the future of Iron Will Innovations."
