Austin-based VUV Analytics has closed on $5.8 million in venture capital.
The company closed on the series A round, led by S3 Ventures, to fund the launch of its laboratory-scale molecular spectroscopy instruments business.
S3’s Managing Director, Brian R. Smith, will also join the company’s board.
“We are really excited to close this investment with S3 Ventures,” Sean Jameson, CEO of VUV Analytics, said in a news release. “They are the perfect fit and bring a tremendous wealth of knowledge regarding the business practices which are common among successful fast-past technology companies. Their guidance and insight will be incredibly valuable to our business.”
