About
Manmeet Maggu and Rahul Udasi, both mechatronics engineering graduates from the University of Waterloo, founded Trexo in 2016. Maggu's nephew had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy in 2011 and the exoskeletons on the market were built for adults, so the two built one for a child. Maggu made the first prototype during his MBA at Rotman and flew it to India; it failed, they fixed it, and his nephew took his first steps. The device is a pair of powered legs on a walker frame, with force and angle settings a parent adjusts from a tablet, and Trexo sells to children's hospitals as well as families. Presenting at TechTO in November 2023, Maggu reported 60 million assisted steps taken, more than 50 insurance reimbursement approvals, and clinical work with the University of Calgary and the Institute of Health Economics. BetaKit reported the counter passed 100 million steps in November 2024.
Backers
