NewConnect, a Bethesda-based provider of high speed Internet access to commercial buildings and enterprises throughout the greater D.C. market, announced it has completed a capital raise for an undisclosed amount with Blu Venture Investors. Blu Venture Investors, a Virginia-based Primary Source Venture Capital firm, has been a strategic partner of NewConnect for over 18 months and sees the value in a second round to further expand NewConnect's growth efforts. NewConnect plans to use the new funding to support market expansion and to further fuel revenue growth. "From the beginning, our business has grown organically, but now we are excited to accelerate these efforts to reach more customers, much faster. Blu was the only group that we considered and they have proven to be more than an investor," said NewConnect CEO David Wallis. "The future of data transmission is through airwaves and with this raise, the future is now."
