Early stage Cambridge based LED lighting specialist Isotera has closed a £1.1m funding round which was cornerstoned by a £360k investment by LBA, including a £75k investment by the LBA EIS Roundtable Syndicate Fund 2011. The company, which presented to the LBA network in September 2011, has developed an intelligent LED lighting system which squeezes the best possible efficiencies from LED lights, and makes installation far more affordable. This lowers the cost of ownership and encourages accelerated adoption of green LED lighting and automated lighting control. <span class="read-more"><a href="../news/£360k-investment-lba-cornerstones-isotera-s-£11m-seed-funding-round" title="Read more" rel="nofollow">Read more »</a></span></p> </div>

“Your chance to be at the Oscars” – that was the title of an e-mail I sent out to all of the Halo angels, I’d have to admit slightly tongue in cheek. That was back in 2010 and little did I know how prophetic this invitation would prove.</p>
<p>
In fact the film in question is called The Shore and it has just won the Oscar for the Best Live Action Short Film. And its funding is an interesting story with a significant role played by Halo – the NI business angel network. <span class="read-more"><a href="https://domainlore.uk/bbaa.org.uk" title="Read more" rel="nofollow">Read more »</a></span></p> </div>

Specialist technology outsourcing and logistics company, echo, is expecting to exploit rapidly expanding opportunities for the support of blue-chip clients' widely distributed IT resources, following a £1.3m investment from Catapult, as part of its recent MBO.</p>

The second new deal of 2012 sees Catapult continue to commit funds in the Support Services sector, where cost and efficiency benefits will continue to provide opportunities for high quality outsourcing specialists, such as echo. <span class="read-more"><a href="../news/catapult-funded-mbo-gives-echo-boost" title="Read more" rel="nofollow">Read more »</a></span></p> </div>
