$8.5 Million for InstallFree

InstallFree, a Stamford, CT, startup that sells software used by corporate IT departments to deliver virtualized applications to Windows desktops, said today that it has raised $8.5 million in Series B funding. The company says it will use the funds—which come from Ignition Partners and Trilogy Equity Partners, both of Bellevue, WA, and add to a $1.7 million venture pot raised in 2007—to expand product development, sales and marketing, and customer support operations.
