History
A startup company in North Central Florida, Fracture was founded by two graduates of The University of Florida, Alex Theodore and Abhi Lokesh.[4][5] They began selling their product in December 2009.[6] Theodore and Lokesh raised $1.5 million in funding from outside investors,[7] including Tamiami Angel Fund I in 2012.[8]
In 2011, following a Groupon promotion, sales increased significantly[6] and the company moved to a larger building, employing ten people.[9] In 2013, the company raised an additional $500,000 for further expansion.[7]
By 2014, the company had filled about 50,000 orders.[10]
By July 2015, the company had filled over 100,000 orders.[11]
In September 2019, Fracture moved into a new 30,000 square foot office space in Alachua, Florida as the anchor company of San Felasco Tech City,[12] a live-work-play development powered by world’s largest array of bifacial solar and five first-of-its-kind solar trees.[13]
