Riverside Technology Company Receives $4.3 Million in East-Coast Based Venture Funding
(As published on Yahoo! Finance on January 31, 2013)
TruTouch Technologies, a pioneer in non-invasive biometric alcohol detection systems, announced that it has topped up its B-1 Financing to $4.3M, which will enable the company to build sales revenues towards profitability. The company's research, development and service departments are located here in Riverside.
TruTouch products employ an advanced alcohol detection technology that uses light to measure a subject's alcohol level. The self-administered test detects employee alcohol use, allowing employers to take action before a shift begins and preventing impaired employees from performing high risk occupations or activities.
