Stealth Monitoring
The Deal
- Bought By
- Rob Cherun and Erik Mikkelsen
- Year
- Not published by any primary source
- The searcher's own firm's page says he ran the company for twelve years and prints no year on either end; the backer's card files the company under a year-invested field, 2011, which is that backer's label. Nothing read states when the purchase closed. A business magazine's feature of November 8, 2016 says the two bought UCIT Online, a video security company in Ontario, after a class they took, without a year. It says their investment company completed the purchase of Stealth Monitoring, a Dallas company whose name the group carries, that week; the first purchase is the row's and the feature does not date it. A trade site's undated report says a security firm agreed in 2024 to acquire the group. The searchers' own vehicle's Form D of November 2016, from the Mississauga address, sold $10,595,000 with a board of search investors and the founder beside them, five years after the backer's 2011 label. That is a later raise and not the close, and the entity's filings begin in 2016.
