(Alliance News) - Allied Minds PLC on Wednesday said portfolio company Federated Wireless has raised USD51 million in a series C financing.
Shares in technology commercialisation firm Allied Minds were down 3.2% at 57.40 pence in London in morning trade.
The funding round included Pennant Investors and SBA Communications as new investors, plus American Tower, GIC, and Allied Minds. Allied did not indicate the quantity of its investment in the funding round.
