Pelico is excited to announce a major funding milestone, having raised $40,000,000 to further our mission of reinventing mobility. With this significant investment, we are one step closer to transforming how people with disabilities experience the world. At Pelico, we are dedicated to developing innovative, affordable, and sustainable solutions that expand individual capabilities. Our flagship project, a human-powered, stair-climbing wheelchair, is designed to empower those who face daily challenges in navigating stairs, especially in regions lacking essential accessibility policies like the Americans with Disabilities Act. By re-inventing the wheel, we aim to revolutionize the standard wheelchair, enabling users to ascend and descend staircases without additional assistance—a breakthrough that addresses one of the most persistent struggles identified by persons with disabilities globally.
This funding will be instrumental in driving research and development, testing, and the final stages of production to bring this ground-breaking product to market. We believe that mobility is a fundamental right, and our innovative approach ensures that our device remains cost-effective and reliable compared to existing powered alternatives. The team behind Pelico, equipped with years of experience and a passion for reengineering conventional mobility aids, is fully committed to delivering a solution that not only meets but exceeds the needs of people with Spinal Cord Injuries both in the United States and internationally. As we leverage this capital to enhance our technology and expand our manufacturing capabilities, we look forward to a future where every individual can access enhanced mobility, independence, and a higher quality of life.
