Investors

In October 2000, Egenera secured $20 million in first-round venture funding from blue-chip investors including Kodiak Venture Partners, Spectrum Equity Investors, Goldman Sachs, CSFB Private Equity, and YankeeTek Ventures.

A $30 million second round was raised in July 2001, at which time Austin Ventures joined the Egenera investor group.

In June 2002, the Company raised $44 million in third-round financing with Crosslink Capital, Lehman Brothers Venture Capital, UBS Capital and Mizuho Bank joining the Egenera syndicate.

The Company's fourth round of venture funding, in the amount of $30 million, was secured in December 2003. New investor Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV) led the round, with strong support also received from previous investors.

In August 2006, Egenera closed a fifth round of venture funding totaling $26 million. New investors Pharos Capital Group, LLC and strategic partner Fujitsu Siemens Computers led the round at a significantly increased valuation over Egenera's previous financing round. The company's core major investors also participated.
