Overview

Me-Ality offers patented scanner hardware and body-measurement software that generates the world’s largest database of body dimensions, enabling size-matching and personalized product recommendations. Its core product is a proprietary handheld body scanner and two online sizing solutions that support an omni-channel fit solution for apparel. The company emphasizes applications across apparel (to reduce costly returns) and other industries including health, fitness, insurance, ergonomics and gaming. Me-Ality has offices in Santa Clara, Philadelphia and Halifax and asserts strong intellectual property protection for its technology. The recent financing is intended to provide working capital for ongoing operations and to support commercialization of the handheld scanner in international markets. The company is positioning its aggregate body-dimension data as a tool for partners to analyze consumer trends and target customers with personalized recommendations. Unique Solutions Design develops body fit solutions and technologies centered on a body-scanning system that measures the body while fully clothed. The company holds the exclusive license to that scanning technology and maintains a comprehensive database of body measurements. It intends to use newly received funds to grow in North American markets and to roll out over 300 body-scanning kiosks to be installed at large shopping centers and other high-traffic venues. The financing is structured as a $30M investment, with the first tranche provided by Northwater Capital’s Intellectual Property Fund. Founded in 1994 and led by CEO Tanya Shaw, Unique Solutions is based in Nova Scotia and also operates offices in California.
