GridGain Systems, a Foster City, California-based provider of an In-Memory Computing platform, closed a $10m Series B venture financing.
The round was led by new investor Almaz Capital, with participation from previous investor RTP Ventures. In conjunction with the funding, managing partner of Almaz Capital Geoffrey Baehr joined the company’s board.
GridGain Systems intends to use the funds to expand sales, marketing and new product development.
