The Nebraska Angels, a Lincoln, Neb.-based consortium of individual angel investors, have played a significant role in bringing the final portion of funds into a Series A round for Nitride Solutions, the company’s CEO, Jeremy Jones said in an email today.
On Monday, Wichita, Kan.-based Nitride Solutions, a developer of next‐generation nitride substrates for LEDs, lasers and power electronics, announced it closed its oversubscribed round at $2.5 million. That figure was $700,000 more than the company first announced in June. Nebraska Angels and Aurora UV of Santa Barbara, Calif. again joined lead investor Midwest Venture Alliance of Wichita in completing the round.
“Nitride Solutions is a great example of what can be accomplished when experienced management is combined with innovation and talent,” Nebraska Angels president Bart Dillashaw said in a press release.
“We are excited about the potential for this technology, and the strong demand for the Series A financing is a demonstration of our confidence in the company’s ability to execute on its business plan and deliver this revolutionary technology to market.”
