InVisage Technologies Inc., a leader in camera technology, announced today the addition of China Oceanwide USA Holdings, the US subsidiary of China-based China Oceanwide Holdings Group to its roster of investors. With Oceanwide's investment, InVisage's total funding for its latest round has grown to $32.5M. The company will use the funds primarily for working capital and capex purposes. With this round of financing, InVisage sets a new record for capital raised by any imaging company.
'We're delighted to continue to attract market-driving investors,' says Jess Lee, CEO at InVisage. 'These partners bring solid validation on an increasingly global scale. We are pleased to welcome Oceanwide as part of our broad initiative to address the China market.'
With its QuantumFilm products to be released next year, InVisage is changing the landscape of photography, cinematography, and imaging in general.
