Openet, Irish Transaction Software Vendor, Pulls In Another $21 Million
junio 13, 2012 - Openet
Openet, one of Ireland's flourishing software developers, said it raised an additional $21 million from investors in Japan, Europe and the U.S., bringing the cumulative total raised in 13 years to $55 million.
"We could have raised either a very small amount of money or a very large amount," said CEO Niall Norton, 45, in an interview. "This was about right." He said the European financial crisis didn't hamper the round.
Dublin-based Openet specializes in software for telecommunications network providers including Verizon Communication (NYSE: VZ), AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), the No. 1 telecommunications carrier, and the Netherlands unit of Vodafone Group (Nasdaq: VOD), although this year nearly 20 percent of revenue should come from other sources.
