Specific financial terms were not disclosed, however, the company indicated that the investment reflects a multi-hundred million dollar valuation.
“Revenue in 2019 was record-breaking for Seegrid, and despite the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, we already have orders in hand to assure continued growth in 2020,” says Jim Rock, Seegrid CEO. “The investment from G2VP allows us to more quickly meet demand and accelerate new product introductions previously scheduled for 2021 and 2022 -- as well as support our significant growth and hiring plans.”
