Our Story
T11, Inc. began more a decade ago from the vision of a former police officer who had an interest in technology, the military, and how to use what he saw at a technology exposition. Motivated to try and create something for America's game following the shocking death of late NFL Hall of Famer Junior Seau, and a passion for the game of football since before his own youth coaching days, the first Apex Right Angle Helmet was shaped and cut from cardboard.
Enduring the many starts and fits that would cause most entrepreneurial ventures to fold, the former Apex TRI-M Innovations Inc. had the incredible ability to attract talent including structural engineers, business administrators, doctors, lawyers, former football players including NCAA Division I and NFL, bankers, and more who caught the vision of what had become known as Impact Dispersion Technology.
Today, the company that rebranded as T11, representing a team of 11 players who field each side of the scrimmage line and those assembled who are so important to the successful launch of new equipment in the delicate safety industry that includes numerous contact sports, construction and manufacturing labor, and the armed forces.
With more than 70 patented applications born from the original technology, fresh ideas and innovators who make up the renewed Atlanta-based company, and it's own legendary engineer who has helped protect football players and others for nearly half a century, T11 now presents the T11R90. We are confident this Helmet is the best performer to help reduce concussions through impact dispersion not-too-dissimilar from that produced in the most sophisticated cars and military-grade equipment.
At T11, #ItsANoBrainer we are poised to help enhance the industry through in-house production and licensing that will undoubtedly make the game safer. And help the young men who play the game of football get up and walk away; even reduce the chances of the tragic Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Brain disease that took Seau's and so many other lives.
