CameraMatics raises €4m in Series A funding round
Pires Investments plc (AIM: PIRI), the investment company focused on next generation technology, is pleased to provide an update on its investment in Sure Valley Ventures ("SVV") in relation to CameraMatics, the leading IoT fleet and vehicle safety technology specialist, a company within the SVV portfolio.
CameraMatics has successfully raised in excess of €4 million in a Series A funding round from a consortium of investors, including existing investors SVV and Enterprise Ireland, led by Puma Investments, a leading provider of growth capital to small and medium-sized businesses.
This new funding has been raised at a valuation that represents over 300% of the CameraMatics' valuation as at the time of SVV's initial investment in November 2017.
CameraMatics states that the funds will be used to support further expansion of CameraMatics' US branch and drive forward the company's recent entry into the mainland European market. CameraMatics has an extensive roadmap for future product and software development and expects to create more than 50 jobs over the next two to three years in Ireland, along with other roles in the UK, US and mainland Europe.
