GTI Capital
GTI Capital was a venture capital firm that focused on early-stage investments in the information technology and telecommunication sectors, particularly emphasizing network solutions and convergence technologies. The firm targeted investments in areas such as wired and wireless telecommunications, corporate data networks, e-commerce, and enterprise applications integration. Operating primarily in Eastern Canada, GTI Capital concentrated its efforts on Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto, typically investing between $5 million and $10 million for a minority stake in portfolio companies. It also had the capacity to invest additional funds, with total investments potentially exceeding $25 million. GTI Capital aimed to take an active role in its portfolio companies by securing board seats and participating in strategic committees. The firm sought to exit its investments through public listings or acquisitions. Founded in 1992, GTI Capital was headquartered in Montreal, Canada.
PointShot Wireless have indeed managed to cut many of the wires and cables in their daily lives (radio, wi-fi, mobile networks, satellite communication) but are they really ready to cut the most important one of all? The power cord? Wireless charging is not something completely new. The concept of induction and inductive charging of a battery has existed for a long time. The main problem is the efficiency of charging and preserving battery life for everyday use. Many of today’s wireless charging solutions are only a simple hybrid form of true wireless charging and wired charging. Let’s take a look at Samsung’s Galaxy S3 and S4 devices. Both of them are presented as ‘wireless rechargeable’, but what does this mean in practice? It means that you have to buy a special charging station (which is wired!) and then place your phone on top of the station in order to get a full battery pack in return. Not to mention the recharge time is pretty much double the time it takes to charge via some old-school cable.
