Luke Timmerman8/28/09

iWalk, the Cambridge, MA-based developer of an actively powered prosthetic ankle and foot, has raised a new round of venture financing that provides a post-money valuation of $20 million, according to Rick Casler, the company’s chief technology officer. The amount of equity investment isn’t yet being disclosed, although General Catalyst led the round, Casler says, and WFD Ventures has a seat on the board, according to a regulatory filing. iWalk, founded in 2006, is a spinoff from MIT’s Media Lab.
