Funding Rounds

Summary

I had just finished my MBA at Stern (following four years in private equity at Dresdner), was applying for jobs in mid-2003, and thought ‘why not?’ I joined Merlin BioMed in the fall of 2003 (post-filming, prior to airing), but couldn’t imagine taking a leave of absence from anything remotely interesting for television’s sake. Johnson Controls Inc. (NYSE: JCI) participated on the deal, alongside return backers Sevin Rosen Funds, Rho Ventures, Massey Burch Capital Corp., Technology Associates Management Co. and Genesis Campus. Corvil, a Dublin, Ireland-based provider of IP traffic control and management solutions, has raised 15 million euros in Series C funding from return backers Apax Partners, Cisco Systems and ACT Venture Capital. * San Francisco-based Burrill & Co. has hired former WI Harper Group and Walden International pro Jonathan Wang to serve as general manager of a new effort focused on strategic partnering and investing opportunities related to Greater China. Molecular Skin Care is a Sheffield University spinout that has raised venture funding from Avlar BioVentures, Cambridge Research & Innovation Ltd., Catalyst Biomedical and Sitka Ltd. www.yorkpharma.com InfoUSA Inc. (Nasdaq: IUSA) ha acquired @Once, a provider of retention-based email technology headquartered in Portland, Oregon.
