- Kalogon Raises $5.75M to Make Sitting Healthier for All
Enable Ventures leads investment in smart seating company serving wheelchair users, aviation, automotive and beyond Kalogon Raises $5.75M: The Kalogon team at a ribbon cutting ceremony at their HQ in Melbourne FL Melbourne, Fla., (June 4, 2026) – Kalogon, the market leader in smart seating solutions, today announced it has raised $5.75 million in funding to accelerate further global expansion of its seating products that reduce the stresses of sitting. The investment was led by Enable Ventures, the first venture fund dedicated to closing the disability wealth gap, with participation from Florida Opportunity Fund, Castellan Group and returning investors DeepWork Capital, Sawmill Angels, SeedFundersOrlando, venVelo, and Black Opal. Kalogon's products serve anyone who sits for extended periods across a range of markets, including healthcare, aviation, and beyond. The funding comes on the heels of a breakout year for Kalogon, which more than tripled its medical revenue year-over-year and moved into a dedicated manufacturing facility in Melbourne to meet increasing demand. Kalogon will use the capital to hire across engineering, research and business development, expand the number of life-changing products offered internationally, and invest in the intelligence that its growing suite of deployed smart cushions makes possible. This investment reflects what the disability community has understood for decades – solutions designed for accessibility benefit everyone. More than one in four Americans identify as having a disability, and adults 55 and older are the fastest-growing segment of the workforce. The companies designing for this population are building better products for all users, pushing the rest of the industry forward. Much like curb cuts on sidewalks and closed captioning on screens, Kalogon’s advancements in wheelchair seating have made sitting healthier for all. “Disability is not a niche market, it’s an inevitable part of the human experience, like being seated, yet there is still so much we don't know about the effects of sitting,” said Regina “Gina” Kline, founder and managing partner of Enable Ventures. “People want products that are intuitively designed and fit seamlessly into their lives. Kalogon's empathy-driven design process, rooted in data, is exactly what this market needs, and every cushion they put into the world teaches them something new about how people sit. That knowledge compounds, and what they're building for wheelchair users today will become the standard for seating for everyone tomorrow.” Founded in 2019 by engineers from SpaceX, Kalogon set out to solve one of the most overlooked health crises for wheelchair users: pressure injuries, which claim more lives each year than nearly any form of cancer and cost the healthcare system an estimated $20 billion annually. Its first product was Orbiter, a smart wheelchair cushion clinically validated to improve blood flow and comfort. Since then, Kalogon has expanded into a full seating system, adding custom Medicare-coded products that address postural support alongside pressure management. That same technology, refined through millions of hours of real-world use, is in pilot testing to relieve fatigue and pain for U.S. Air Force aircrew on B-52 and E-4B long-duration missions, with commercial aviation and automotive partnerships in development. “People who use wheelchairs face real health consequences from sitting, but the stresses of sitting don't stop there,” said Tim Balz, founder and CEO of Kalogon. “When you solve for the people with the greatest need, you end up solving it for everyone. Our work with the U.S. Air Force showed us that the same technologies that help wheelchair users can help a B-52 pilot endure a 30-hour mission at peak performance. Improving seating has applications everywhere, and this investment lets us chase the full scope of that opportunity.” The funds build on a strong institutional foundation in the rapidly growing aging and mobility market. Kalogon is a graduate of the AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP and Praxis SCI Incubate, both of which hold an investment stake in the company. The company serves customers nationally through major DME distribution partners, including National Seating & Mobility, Reliable Medical, Numotion and Paragon Mobility, and plans to expand distribution partnerships outside the United States.

- Kalogon expands access to smart seating with extended sizing for Orbiter Med
Orbiter Med now offers new gluteal extension, contour adjustments for increased comfort and pressure relief for more body types Melbourne, Fla. (March 18, 2025) - Kalogon, a leader in smart seating solutions, today announced its custom wheelchair cushion Orbiter Med will now be available in extended sizing. The new sizing options expand accessibility to a broader range of users who need improved support and pressure relief. Launched in 2024, Orbiter Med combines Kalogon’s groundbreaking Advanced Pressure Management System (APMS) with the individualized postural support of a custom cushion reimbursable by insurance. Starting today, Orbiter Med is now available in sizes up to 27 inches by 27 inches, ensuring that more wheelchair users—regardless of their body type—can benefit from Kalogon’s smart seating technology. This expanded sizing was developed in response to consumer feedback, aiming to serve a broader audience who experience difficulties with offloading and weight shifts. "Our goal has always been to deliver adaptive seating solutions that solve direct problems for our customers," said Tim Balz, CEO and co-founder of Kalogon. "Wheelchair users are diverse and have unique needs for a cushion, from postural support to skin protection. The first iteration of Orbiter Med has been a game changer for Medicare-coded cushions, and the introduction of expanded sizing is an important step toward serving a greater population." Kalogon adjusted Orbiter Med based on feedback from clinical advisors and customer requests. These improvements include offering a gluteal extension to the back of the cushion, optimal performance up to 550 lbs., and adjustments to the contours of the pelvic well for redundant tissue. These refinements ensure that Orbiter Med provides even greater comfort and functionality for users with specific postural and pressure relief needs. Orbiter Med still offers all the original cushion modifications, including variable sizes for medial, posterior lateral pelvic, lateral thigh and residual limb supports. Clinicians and seating specialists can order Orbiter Med by contacting Kalogon to be connected to their local representative at Kalogon.com.

- Calgon or Kalogon? How to Spell and Say It Right
In the world of unique brand names, mispronunciations and misspellings are practically a rite of passage. Here at Kalogon, we’ve seen it all. From "Kalagon" to "Calegin,” the creative variations on our name never cease to surprise us. The name itself was inspired by a friend who used a word in Cebuano – which our team took to mean trust and stability. From there, the team explored options, ultimately choosing Kalogon as the perfect representation of the principles we strive to embody. One common mix-up is with “Calgon,” the classic bath product slogan, “Take me away!” While both of us focus on comfort, Kalogon is all about smart seating solutions, not bubble baths. Here’s some other misspellings that are actually tied to entirely different things: Kalegon: As it turns out, this is the name of a mythical World of Warcraft character. While we’re not in the fantasy realm, our smart cushions might feel like magic to those who use them. Kalagon: A small village in Myanmar, located near the Chinese border. While it’s a lovely place, our focus is creating comfort solutions for seated health, not geography. Calogon: A prescription lotion. We’re all about relieving pressure and discomfort, but with technology, not creams. Kalgon: A heavy metal band. We’re flattered by the edgy vibe, but the only thing rocking with Kalogon is our cutting-edge innovation. We've heard it all. Other common name variations include: Kalgon, kalogen, kalogan, calagon, kolagon, and calogon. We know “Kalogon” is unique, so here are some easy ways to remember both the spelling and how to say it: Think of the word “gone.” When you say “Kalogon,” you’re saying “cal-o-gone,” just like our cushions help discomfort and pressure injuries be gone. Getting our name right helps you find us quickly and easily – no detours through bath product brands or video games! When you search for Kalogon, we want you to connect directly with our innovative solutions designed to improve seating comfort and health.
