View, a US-based, dynamic glass maker for architectural windows, has received $100m financing from growth capital investment firm Madrone Capital Partners.
View has now raised over $336.5m in venture capital, and a $4m grant from the state of Mississippi. Most recently, in June 2013, View raised a $60m series E funding round led by Corning Incorporated, a US-based speciality glass and ceramics maker. General Electric, a previous investor, also joined the round.
Dr Rao Mulpuri, chief executive officer of View, said: “As our project pipeline continues to grow, this investment will enable us to accelerate our growth, expand our market presence, and continue to serve our broadening customer base.”
Thomas Patterson, co-founder and general partner of Madrone Capital Partners, who has joined View’s board, said: “We have been closely following View for the past few years, and we are impressed by Rao and the View team’s tremendous progress. This investment represents a high growth opportunity, enabled by a game-changing product in a very large market.”
