Pelican BioThermal Launches Combat-mobile Critical Care Blood Transport Container

August 19th, 2016

Provider of temperature-controlled packaging solutions unveils Golden Hour™ Medic, a small-scale thermal container for military personnel

August 16, 2016 02:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pelican BioThermal, a global leader providing the broadest and most innovative range of temperature-controlled packaging solutions serving the life sciences industry, today launches the Golden Hour™ Medic, a critical care transport container. This packaging solution allows military personnel to carry life-saving whole blood with them onto the battlefield, which vehicles may not be able to easily reach in the critical first hour after a soldier sustains a life-threatening injury.

“The Golden Hour Medic is the result of our long-standing effort to identify and develop solutions for military field personnel; it supports the need to transport whole blood units far distances while still successfully maintaining blood at the critical temperature around 4 °C,” said Pelican BioThermal Vice President of Worldwide Sales, Kevin Lawler. “We are proud to officially launch the Golden Hour Medic and look forward to playing a pivotal role in the effort to save the lives of troops.”

Utilizing the same innovative technology as their award-winning Golden Hour™ Mobile container, the Golden Hour Medic is a reusable, portable container designed specifically for combat medics to transport blood and other lifesaving materials. The Medic can keep whole blood supplies at the required temperature for 24 hours in harsh conditions and up to three days in standard environments.

Maintaining critical blood supplies is an integral part of Pelican BioThermal’s historical product history. The company’s award-winning Golden Hour™ Technology was developed to protect the lives of military personnel on the frontlines by providing smaller-scale thermal containers for blood supplies. Later came the Golden Hour Mobile Container. It was developed shortly after 9/11 to protect military troops’ lives in the battlefield in the harshest of environments and climates. In 2004 the original container was the winner of the ‘Army’s Greatest Invention Award.’

Today, Pelican BioThermal provides a full range of single-use and reusable temperature-controlled packaging options that ensure the integrity of mobile blood supplies and inventories for blood banks, hospitals, EMT personnel, and first responders alike. Its parent company, Pelican Products, Inc., is celebrating 40 years of supplying a variety of protective case solutions to the modern warfighter, from weapons cases to server rack-mount cases to field hospital storage cases.

DV8 Sports Launches $3.5 Million Offering for Private Investors

August 18th, 2016

DV8 Sports and EPEC – Golf without obstacles, a game-changing full set of golf clubs in a liberating, life styled backpack, and an upgradeable junior golf solution that eliminates the need for costly new clubs each time a child grows a few inches.

Atlanta, GA, August 4, 2016 – Sepia Products, LLC dba DV8 Sports announced its $3.5 million Regulation D 506(c) private offering today to accredited investors throughout the USA.

DV8 has engaged VeteranCrowd to serve as exclusive financial advisor during this offering. The securities are being offered through WealthForge Securities, LLC Member FINRA/SIPC.

DV8 Sports is a golf equipment company dedicated to golf’s next generation of millennial and junior golfers. By way of innovative products and forward-thinking solutions for both adults and kids, DV8 is building brands to reflect the attitudes and aspirations of these younger players. With golf in the midst of a generational change, DV8 Sports is at the forefront of this movement; from new forms of the games we call “golf” to where they are played and the equipment players use, every aspect of this 300 year-old activity is being challenged. Many traditional manufacturers see these changes as disruptive whereas DV8 Sports has the products, the vision and the experience to turn this disruption into opportunity.

Point in fact—as reported recently, one of the world’s most respected sporting goods brands announced it is exiting golf equipment. While some assume this exit to be a reflection of the woes of the golf industry in general, a different view is the brand was simply unsuccessful at connecting with either of golf’s major demographics—older affluent golfers who prefer more traditional brands or millennials and juniors who happen to make up nearly 50% of all participants. None of golf’s major brands are focusing on these younger players which is exactly why DV8 will. To that end, funds from this raise will fuel marketing and branding, new product development and inventory purchases for both DV8 and EPEC product lines specifically focused on younger players.

One of the first uses of proceeds from this private offering will be a direct response (DR) advertising campaign on NBC/Golf Channel that will begin airing this fall. Headlined by famed PGA Tour instructor Rick Smith, a DV8 Sports ambassador, the campaign will promote the EPEC Upgradeable Junior Golf Set, the industry’s first and only upgradeable junior product. With real kids urging parents and grandparents to “DO THE MATH”, the spots will illustrate the demonstrable financial benefits of an upgradeable product as compared to parents being forced to buy entirely new sets of clubs every 12 to 18 months as kids grow. EPEC promises to save parents as much as 50-60% compared to other premium fit by height brands. Not only with the EPEC DR campaign get the company’s innovative equipment into the hands of thousands of kids, it will dramatically increase awareness of the brand and make EPEC a household name in golf.

EPEC products are distributed at a growing number of retailers such as Worldwide Golf, Golf Town (Canada) and PGA Tour Superstores, online, and through golf shops and country clubs nationwide. Go to www.epecgolf.com to see participating golf shops.

You’ve probably read that and said to yourself, “I don’t even like golf, why the heck did SSD share that?” Well, here’s why. VeteranCrowd, LLC is an online platform facilitating private placements for veteran led businesses. It’s what they specilize in. So if you’re a veteran looking to raise capital, now you know tyere’s someone you can talk to about it. Securities are offered through WealthForge Securities, LLC Member FINRA/SIPC.
