Correction: <<Just closed a $10m round of VC backed financing from Norwest Venture and others>> I was thinking of a comment i had read by Mike Gorman who is with St. Paul Venture Capital not Norwest when i wrote the above. If i recall correctly there were 8 VC Firms plus one corporate investor in the latest [$10.1M] Xiotech round. Investors included: St. Paul Venture Capital [MN] Cresendo Venture Management [MN] Minnesota Management Partners [MN] Gideon Hixson [MN] Advent Internation [Boston] Sigma Partners [Menlo Park] I understand that Sigma Partners put up ~ 1/3 of the total $10.1M financing. Also interesting is that Mac Lewis, the managing partner of Minnesota Management Partners, and an Xiotech board member, is the former CEO of Computer Network Technology. Info only, not speculation.
