PogoTec Files Form 1-A with the SEC to Launch a Regulation A+ IPO

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--()--PogoTec, Inc., an innovator in wearable devices, today announced that on November 16, 2017, it filed an Offering Statement on Form 1-A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to launch a Regulation A+ initial public offering (“IPO”). This filing came on the same day the company announced the purchase availability of PogoCam, the world’s smallest and lightest attachable eyewear camera that unobtrusively attaches to virtually all eyewear so consumers can capture and share the world from their point of view. PogoTec’s additional proprietary product solutions include PogoLoop, a universal connector that allows PogoCam to attach magnetically to virtually all eyewear as well as PogoTrack, an elegant metal track embedded in the temple design of modern eyewear to allow PogoCam and other wearable devices to attach and detach magnetically to PogoTrack frames. PogoTec has licensed PogoTrack to three global frame manufacturers, including ClearVision Optical, FGX International and Argus Vision.

InfoTrends estimates that 1.2 trillion digital photos will be taken worldwide in 2017. Additionally, research has pointed to the global eyewear market growing and projected to exceed $180.0 billion by 2024. By taking advantage of the intersection of consumer habits and eyewear, we believe that PogoTec is poised to establish an enthusiastic user base with its PogoCam that will be interested in future products.

PogoTec’s long-term business strategy includes leveraging a loyal and strong base of advocates to drive new users, and creating versatile products that can be used for everyday moments and a variety of occasions and activities. The company continues to commit substantial resources to research, develop and protect the intellectual property of forthcoming innovations in camera technology, augmented reality and wireless power. To date, PogoCam has filed 166 provisional patent applications that have been collapsed into 47 (32 provisional and 15 pending non-provisional) pending United States utility patent applications (provisional and non-provisional) and 54 pending foreign utility patent applications.

Through innovation, research and development and intellectual property protection, PogoTec will be a leader in lifestyle technology solutions enhancing people’s lives while preserving consumer style preferences. Additionally, PogoTec’s commercial strategy focuses on the company’s own eCommerce site, optical retail including eye care professionals, and traditional retail to drive sales (big box and online) and specialty and TV retail.

WR Hambrecht + Co is acting as the sole and exclusive underwriter for the Regulation A+ Initial Public Offering for PogoTec.

“PogoTec fits squarely within WRH+Co’s mission to assist exciting, early stage companies in accessing growth capital via the public market. PogoTec, like ShiftPixy and Arcimoto, scores highly on WRH+Co’s proprietary screens for its potential to disrupt its category,” said John Hullar, Managing Partner, WR Hambrecht + Co. “We look forward to supporting PogoTec in pursuit of its vision to innovate wearable technology and to bringing this opportunity to investors.”
