Networked “smart” lighting startup Adura Technologies has landed an $8.5 million Series B round from investors to push its wireless controllers into more and more lighting fixtures across the country, starting in its hometown California Bay Area region.
Investors included NGEN Partners, VantagePoint Capital Partners and Claremont Creek Ventures. Adura, founded in 2005, has previously raised $17 million, bringing its total haul to about $25.5 million or so.
The San Francisco-based startup also announced a new customer, Oakland’s Kaiser Center.
