We’re proud to announce our first venture investment from Mission 3A, a venture capital firm specializing in consumer goods, creator economy, and medical technology sectors. This partnership marks a significant step forward in Titan’s mission to revolutionize hockey safety and performance.
Mission 3A invests in and supports innovative and disruptive early-stage businesses led by first-class founders. This investment in Titan will directly contribute to improved player safety outcomes and performance for players everywhere.
With serious skate blade injuries becoming a growing concern in hockey, our gear raises the bar in player protection. Traditional neck guards often fail to provide complete coverage or shift during play while our advanced cut-resistant technology ensures unmatched protection that stays in place when it matters most. With Mission 3A’s support, we will scale our operations and distribution, bringing superior safety to more athletes across North America.
“At Titan Battlegear, player safety isn’t a priority, it’s our entire mission,” says Andries de Villiers, our Founder and CEO. “Every player deserves the highest level of protection without compromising performance. With Mission 3A’s support, we’re pushing the boundaries of innovation to ensure no player steps onto the ice without the safest gear possible.”
Mission 3A provides not only financial support, but also strategic guidance, industry expertise, and a powerful network to help early-stage businesses scale.
“We invested in Titan Battlegear because of its relentless innovation, industry-leading safety technology, cutting edge graphic designs, and Titan’s fast-growing reputation as the go-to brand for serious hockey players of all ages,” said William Sirignano, an Operating Partner at Mission 3A. “Titan Battlegear is exactly the kind of company we look for – one that’s not just keeping up with an industry, but changing it.” Sirignano has also joined Titan Battlegear’s Board of Directors.
With this investment, Titan will not only accelerate its growth plans, but we will aim to change the way hockey players think about safety. Over the next year, we plan to launch new, game-changing protective gear, partner with teams and hockey organizations across North America, and expand our retail presence. Mission 3A’s capital and its team will accelerate the mission to ensure no player steps onto the ice without the best possible protection.
