GET A PIECE OF ICEGIANT
Based on our internal observations, IceGiant’s unique, patented cooling technology outperforms the competition and boasts market-leading reliability. This technology uses a unique, gravity-driven system with no moving parts for ultra longevity and safety. IceGiant launched its first product, the ProSiphon Elite in 2021, and breathed fresh innovation into the stagnate PC cooling market, where the most advanced innovation over the last 20 years was incorporating LEDs in the coolers.
Every computer has a CPU, and every CPU requires a cooler. PC sales have increased across the board due to the exploding popularity in gaming and streaming and the rising need for prosumer and professional workstations, particularly as the economy shifts toward a flexible office schedule. As a result, “the value of the combined gaming PC and monitor markets is expected to grow from $43 billion in 2020 to just over $60 billion in 2025 with a five-year CAGR of 7.4%,” according to Business Wire.*
Based on the following factors, we believe IceGiant is positioned to capitalize on all of our momentum. We have 1) successfully launched a top-level product, 2) established a presence in retail channels, 3) recently signed our first distribution agreement, 4) successfully prototyped and tested our second product that will continue our pursuit to be the top company in the cooling market, 5) are preparing to launch the most extreme PC in existence into a market that’s passionate about performance, and 6) are developing many more products to strengthen our brand and market penetration. We just need the resources to establish brand awareness, scale exponentially with new products, and aggressively expand into new markets as electronics encounter more severe thermal issues.

While similar products have a warranty of 6 years, IceGiant offers a 10-year customer guarantee. In addition to our current product, the ProSiphon Elite, we plan to launch an entire line of extreme performance coolers, as well as products in new categories within the PC industry.
We believe our technology also has the potential to disrupt numerous other markets, from solar, to electric vehicles and data centers. The possibilities are endless, and IceGiant is ready to deliver!

The Problem
We believe the PC industry is facing an enormous thermal emergency. To increase performance, CPU (central processing unit) and GPU (graphics processing unit) manufacturers are releasing higher power products.
However, this power increase causes huge thermal issues, and current cooling technologies are already reaching their physical limitations. Most of these current technologies either cannot support the power load, use water (which is disastrous for expensive electronics if a leak occurs), suffer performance degradation over time, or have inherent failure points, such as pumps, which are only expected to last about 5 years (source).
AMD’s Threadripper is the perfect example of CPUs that are moving towards higher thermal loads to offer improved performance. Few coolers can adequately cool a Threadripper CPU. Based on our internal observations, the IceGiant ProSiphon Elite has been repeatedly demonstrated as the best cooler for this monster CPU.
The Solution
IceGiant’s ProSiphon technology is an attractive product designed to handle the heaviest thermal loads. Since the cooler is gravity-driven, with no internal moving parts, each cooler is built to operate far beyond anything else in the market!
While most of our competitors’ products often suffer from a lack of performance or a limited lifetime, IceGiant combines extreme performance and incredible reliability. Our market-leading position in reliability is evidenced by our customer guarantee of 10 years, while our closest competitor only has a warranty of 6 years (source). Unlike much of the competition, our gravity-driven cooler is built with no internal moving parts, which means there is no pump to fail, hence its ultra-reliability. With such an incredible warranty, users can support future, advanced CPUs by taking the cooler from one PC to the next.
Our first cooling solution, the ProSiphon Elite, uses a gravity-driven cooling loop to provide extreme cooling to high-powered CPUs. This is how it works:
IceGiant’s customers include gamers, streamers, YouTubers, content creators, and any other computer user requiring extreme performance. We also sell to, distributors, retailers, and system integrators (PC builders). We sell our products B2C (directly to our customers) through our online store, as well as B2B through our retail distributors and system integrators.
The Market
Our technology is entering the market at a critical inflection point where both new, better cooling solutions are sorely needed and the popularity and growth of high-performance personal computers, gaming rigs, workstations, and server computers is exploding.
According to Business Wire, “the value of the combined gaming PC and monitor markets is expected to grow from $43 billion in 2020 to just over $60 billion in 2025 with a five-year CAGR of 7.4%” (source). The gaming and content creation desktop industry was already a high growth segment of the PC market pre-pandemic, and has only grown since. Sales for all desktops have continued to increase, as the economy has shifted toward a flexible office schedule (source), and every desktop requires a cooler. Furthermore, the size of the gaming industry has surpassed the movies and music industries combined(source).
(source, source, source, source, source)
Many competitors in the space either outsource their cooling solutions to a third-party everyone uses or continue to rely on the same solution they have been using for years despite the increases in chip power. This is a big reason why the PC cooling industry has had little to no major performance innovations in the last few decades. IceGiant, on the other hand, is the product of our world-class thermal engineers, who hold PhDs specialized in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and two-phase flow, and have created years worth of innovative designs and products, each offering improved performance and reliability.
Furthermore, this thermal issue isn’t just happening in the consumer PC market- it is happening anywhere high-performance chips are required. Notably, the importance and growth of data centers, i.e., the “brains” of the internet that store and share applications and data, will continue to expand as cloud services, machine learning, IoT, AI, and deep learning continue to progress, and the next-generation of processors are released.
Our Traction
In 2019, IceGiant raised $520,000 to develop a unique, high-performance CPU (central processing unit) cooling solution for the PC industry (particularly for PCs used for gaming and content creation). Since then, we have developed our product, filed and received patents, and solidified our brand’s position in the market.
We are currently protected by 8 issued patents and have 3 patents pending. Capital is needed to file additional patents and will also be needed as we generate more IP.
Starting in March of 2021, the IceGiant ProSiphon Elite was available for purchase directly from IceGiant, and several global retailers received inventory. Between November of 2020 and January of 2022, we generated $1.1M in revenue and signed a distribution agreement with one of the world’s largest distribution companies, Tech Data Synnex.
With our current product, we already have an engaged, ardent early-adopter base that is passionate about gaming, content creation, and streaming, and that we believe will continue to support our upcoming products.
Our product roadmap includes extreme performance coolers, one of which has already been prototyped and ready for 3rd-party review, as well as products in new categories.
One of our very near-future endeavors is a partnership between IronSide Computers, EVGA, ASRock, Fractal Design, and G.Skill to put together the absolute top-of-the-line PC build. The pièce de résistance of this build is the specially binned CPU by the #1 overclocker himself, Splave, who has partnered with us. In fact, Splave personally handpicked all of the components and will overclock the entire system. It’s the kind of computer that NASA would be super jealous of.
We believe we’re headed for the moon and beyond and just need to leave the atmosphere. But don’t just take our word for it. Hear what professionals are saying about IceGiant on our website.

Why Invest
We believe that IceGiant has what it takes to dominate the high-end desktop market (including PCs for gaming and content creation) within the next 3-5 years. And, within 10 years, we intend to be a leading brand across multiple categories.
We see innovation as our strength and hold the vision for IceGiant to eventually become a superior brand with a diverse range of premium products spanning several markets. We believe IceGiant’s innovation and passion put us in a league of our own. Join us for the next exciting chapter of our story!
IceGiant is planning to disrupt the computer industry with a new, patented technology that cools even the most powerful chips. As a trend, computer chips are getting hotter and hotter, and their heat levels have recently started going beyond the capabilities of the status quo cooling solutions. This is where IceGiant's unique, in-market cooling technology comes in. We pick up where the competition falls off.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
