AVEX LLC Raises $7.6 Million in Series A Financing Round for 1st Quarter Launch of Footbeat

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– January 10, 2017

AVEX LLC, an innovative Colorado-based medical device company, today announced the securing of $7.6 million in Series A financing that will fuel the Q1 2017 launch of Footbeat, the only wearable technology that improves health and athletic performance by increasing circulation through precise, cyclic pressure applied to the arch of the foot.

“This is an exciting time for AVEX and its investors. We believe that an investment of this magnitude validates both the clinical and commercial potential of Footbeat,” said Matt Mayer, CEO of AVEX. “We’re bringing a device to market that will transform lives through improved health and athletic recovery. The capital raised in this round will build up production capacity, expand the operations team, and provide the sales and marketing resources to make Footbeat available to patients and physicians.”

Co-founder, Dr. David Mayer, a practicing orthopedic surgeon of more than 35 years, was increasingly frustrated by his patients’ resistance to using life-saving circulation enhancement devices. Talking with post-operative patients and patients suffering from lower body circulatory conditions led him to pinpoint three common complaints about existing devices: immobility, noise and discomfort.

Increasing circulation in his patients’ lower extremities was extremely important, so he sought a better solution—one that was comfortable, completely mobile, and easy-to-use with no unwanted side effects. After seven years of development and testing, he created Footbeat.
