Germany-based industrial conglomerate Robert Bosch’s corporate venturing unit has joined a consortium investing in Ogmento’s second round.
A US regulatory filing said the round raised its planed $3.6m from six investors.
In October 2010, the US Army had led a $3.5m first round of investment in Ogmento, a US-based company that adds computer-generated images to the physical real-world environment, known as augmented reality, used in games on mobile phones.
Leading this earlier series A round had been Chart Venture Partners, a $100m venture capital fund investing in security-related technologies formed by Chart Group, a private investment and merchant banking firm headquartered in New York City, and Insitech, a non-profit commercial partnership intermediary for the US Army’s Armament Research Development and Engineering Center (Ardec).
The series A round was also backed by angel investors and CNF Investments, the VC division of US-based industrial conglomerate Clark Enterprises.
