Overview

Iotera develops the IOTA GPS pet tracking system, a small, long battery‑life real‑time GPS device that uses a crowd‑sourced wireless network. The network provides tracking coverage across much of the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York City and other large metropolitan areas. While useful for bikes, cars and children, the product is primarily marketed as a pet tracker. Led by CEO Ben Wild, the company is taking pre-orders for the Iota GPS tracker and targeted delivery in the summer of 2015 following a successful July 2014 Kickstarter campaign that generated more than $280k in pre-orders. Iotera closed a $1M financing round to expand delivery of its IOTA pet tracking system. Investors in the round included ZenShin Capital Partners, Crunchfund, Startup Capital Ventures, String Ventures, EarlyMarket and Rubicon Venture Capital.
