iCompass Technologies Inc. (“iCompass”) has received a total financing of $1.25 Million, with $750,000 being closed in the first tranche. In exchange for this financing, TIMIA will receive a monthly royalty on total revenue until a defined maximum amount has been reached.
iCompass is a privately held corporation located in Kamloops, British Columbia and is an industry leader in providing paperless meetings, records and citizen engagement solutions for small and medium sized local governments.
