Zinc Matrix Power last week announced a $7mm round of financing. Existing investors Intel Capital also participated, alongside an unnamed "private equity" group which may or may not have been a new investor, it's unclear. OnPoint Technologies, which led the company's $9mm October 2004 prior round, didn't participate in this current round. Red Herring has a very good discussion of the company's technology and future plans.
ESS, which offers software for corporate EH&S departments, announced an $8mm round of financing, led by Grayhawk Venture Partners and DCA Capital Partners. Unnamed existing investors also participated. The company's software helps companies track compliance with environmental, healthy and safety regulations.
