The company aims to improve propulsion efficiency and counteract many debilitating effects experienced with extended lifetime wheelchair use. Rowheels plans to advance commercialization of its reverse propulsion wheel technology using the proceeds from the recent funding. It intends to use the funds to accelerate product commercialization efforts. The company was co-founded in 2011 by CTO Salim Nasser and CEO Rimas Buinevicius and is based in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. The article reports the company raised $1.5M to support these plans.
