Key Deal Facts

Based on our internal observations, IceGiant’s unique, patented cooling technology outperforms the competition and boasts market-leading reliability. This technology uses a unique, gravity-driven system with no moving parts for ultra longevity and safety. IceGiant launched its first product, the ProSiphon Elite in 2021, and breathed fresh innovation into the stagnate PC cooling market, where the most advanced innovation over the last 20 years was incorporating LEDs in the coolers.

Every computer has a CPU, and every CPU requires a cooler. PC sales have increased across the board due to the exploding popularity in gaming and streaming and the rising need for prosumer and professional workstations, particularly as the economy shifts toward a flexible office schedule. As a result, “the value of the combined gaming PC and monitor markets is expected to grow from $43 billion in 2020 to just over $60 billion in 2025 with a five-year CAGR of 7.4%,” according to Business Wire.*

Based on the following factors, we believe IceGiant is positioned to capitalize on all of our momentum. We have 1) successfully launched a top-level product, 2) established a presence in retail channels, 3) recently signed our first distribution agreement, 4) successfully prototyped and tested our second product that will continue our pursuit to be the top company in the cooling market, 5) are preparing to launch the most extreme PC in existence into a market that’s passionate about performance, and 6) are developing many more products to strengthen our brand and market penetration. We just need the resources to establish brand awareness, scale exponentially with new products, and aggressively expand into new markets as electronics encounter more severe thermal issues.
