i2E, Inc. recently led an $850,000 investment in Tulsa-based ICEdot, a company that has created an innovative crash sensor for action sports enthusiasts.  i2E invested $425,000 in ICEdot through the i2E-managed Accelerate Oklahoma! Fund.

i2E was joined in the follow-on investment by $165,000 from the SeedStep Angels and $260,000 from other investors.  I2E also led a $1.03 million investment in ICEdot in 2013.

ICEdot’s Crash Sensor attaches to the safety helmet of cyclists, skiers, snow boarders, BMX bikers and other action sports participants. The ICEdot Crash Sensor detects forces consistent with head injury and notifies emergency contacts of the owners GPS coordinates via text message.

With a worldwide exclusive license to the sensor technology, ICEdot is the only service that combines health data, sensor-based detection and notification services.  The company’s largest customers are helmet manufacturers, said Chis Zenthoefer, ICEdot CEO.

“The company will utilize funds to make ongoing technology improvements to enhance and commercialize its relationships with helmet manufacturers along with supporting marketing efforts and acquiring IP,” Zenthoefer said. “We place our emergency ID stickers on helmets from Bell, Poc and Shred with others coming on board.”

As a part of the federal States Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), this U.S. Treasury funded Accelerate Oklahoma! initiative offers funds that provide critical capital and co-investment for Oklahoma entrepreneurs at specific stages of their companies’ lifecycles.

  • invest in innovative startup companies that promise sustained revenue and increased employment;
  • accelerate emerging growth businesses that show potential for bringing new products to market and increasing private capital investment in Oklahoma; and
  • fund later stage companies that need capital to position them for expansion at the time of commitment.

The SeedStep Angels group was founded by i2E in 2009 and is now the state’s largest angel investment group with more than 40 members and chapters in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Ardmore and Muskogee.
