RALEIGH – Voxelight, a startup focusing on technology to improve sunscreen protection, has raised on $150,000 in additional funding.
According to a securities filing Thursday, Voxelight has raised an additional $150,000 in debt to hit its $725,000 target.
The company has been raising capital since last year.
Voxelight says its Sunscreenr camera-like product helps prevent sunburn by helping people ensure sunscreen has been applied thoroughly.
“It shows you where you’ve missed a spot when applying sunscreen AND where sunscreen has worn off your skin,” the company says.
“According to the CDC skin cancer is over 90% preventable. We just don’t do a good enough job protecting ourselves. That’s in part because were blind – sunscreen is invisible on the skin and no human can see UV light,” explains CEO Dave Cohen.
“Sunscreenr gives everyone the power to better protect themselves from the sun by making the invisible visible.”
Cohen is a serial inventor with 23 patents, by the way. He cites “multidisciplinary engineering, medical device and bioanalytical instrumentation development, forensic technology and program, engineering and product management as among his strengths.
