Bessemer Invests in Russia and other Fresh Euro Deals
Q-blog is reporting that Enforta, a WIMAX broadband telecom operator active in Russia, raised $40M in a C round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, along with earlier investors Baring Vostok Capital Partners (BVCP), Sumitomo Corporation and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
Kinkaa.de, an AJAX travel search site, has raised a seed investment from High Tech Gründerfonds, which sent us a note on the deal. The almost two year old site is available in a couple of languages already.
Sunmachine, a Munich-based startup that develops mini-heating and power generators to homeowners, is currently raising about €12M to ramp up production this year. It has raised an undisclosed amount of capital from BayBG Bayerische Beteiligungsgesellschaft as part of the round.
Sunmachine has patents on a generator that burns either gas or wood pellets and is based on a Sterling Motor, which produces heat and electricity for buildings of 280 m² or less. According to the website, a solar powered unit is in the works too.
The investor said in a statement that some 60 companies have signed up for distribution licenses in Germany and Europe. Delivery of 5,000 units are planned this year.
