We are pleased to announce that Transient Plasma Systems Inc. (TPS) has completed an $8.5 million Series A funding round from Kairos Ventures. TPS develops and markets nanosecond pulsed power systems that unlock the potential of low-temperature plasma to be used in a variety of applications.
This financing will enable TPS to make immediate investments to expand their infrastructure to pursue emerging opportunities including ignition of advanced high-efficiency combustion engines, emissions reduction, and industrial plasma processing, and position itself for future growth. The build-up includes investment in the core team, manufacturing base, and intellectual property. The Series A follows a $1.5 million Seed Investment from Kairos Ventures, bringing the total investment from Kairos to $10 million. As part of the investment, James Demetriades, CEO of Kairos Ventures, will join the company’s Board of Directors.
