Will Hedgecock

PINPTR, the VU School of Engineering-linked positioning startup that's all about precision, has fine-tuned its capital schema: During the Jumpstart Foundry Demo Day on Aug. 21, Co-founder Will Hedgecock announced its $1.4MM total Seed-round goal. Now, it's going to happen in three phases. First, it has nearly completed a smallish friends-family-founders round, to get it through most of 1Q15. Next, in February it'll begin a $200K kickstarter raise to fund marketing and promotion. Then, by 4Q15, it'll launch a roughly $1MM Seed round to fund a marketing push in 2016. It's already had serious approaches from nearly a dozen individual and institutional investors, and those will be held in abeyance for the large phase. It'll go to market initially with consumer technology used by golfers for green-reading, or by skiiers and others for tracking. Subsequently, it'll move into more security- and safety-oriented sectors, possible related to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs, drones) and collision dection and avoidance (automotive and related). Protecting its IP during all this is a major strategic and defensive goal. It's working with Baker Donelson on that, and could also turn to specialists in Silicon Valley, said Hedgecock. Meanwhile, the team is deal with such things as high-altitude concerns regarding development of its API. Earlier Pinptr coverage here. VNC
