By Everyone Counts, Special for USDR
Everyone Counts, the world’s leading provider of secure software based elections, announced today that it has closed a $16M mezzanine debt round closely following a $4M equity round of funding.
Boston based Falcon Investment Advisors LLC, led the mezzanine debt portion while Silicon Valley venture capital fund, Draper Associates, led the earlier equity round. Falcon partner Rafael Fogel will join Everyone Counts’ board of directors.
Executive Chairman Tom Tullie announced the round: “I am thrilled to bring these world class investment firms on board to partner with Everyone Counts. This new round of funding will enable us to build out our sales and marketing operation as well as accelerate the Federal certification of our eLect® Quad Audit voting system. It will also allow us to meet rapidly increasing demand at a time when the majority of the nation’s purpose built election equipment is reaching end of life and a modern cost effective Software as a Service solution is the replacement of choice.”
