Emergency calls tech co Carbyne raises $25m
The expansion of the company s B round was led by Hanaco Ventures and ELSTED Capital Partners.
Israeli company Carbyne, a developer of technology for smart communications with emergency sites, announced on Thursday that it had raised $25 million in an expansion of its B round. The raise was led by Hanaco Ventures and ELSTED Capital Partners, with participation from KKR chairman David Petraeus and all existing investors, including Peter Thiel s Founders Fund, and FinTLV.
Absent from the round was former prime minister Ehud Barak. Barak was the public face of the startup in its first years, but last May he stepped down as chairman. Barak was an investor in Carbyne from its seed stage, but at the same time as he resigned as chairman his stake in the company was sold to new investors. Carbyne co-founder and CEO Amir Elichai took over as chairman as well.
