$8M for BVI Networks

8/10/11

San Jose, CA-based BVI Networks, a maker of business intelligence visualization software for consumer retailers, said today that it has raised $8 million in a Series B funding round. New investor August Capital led the round, which was joined by the startup’s existing investors. “While physical stores generate over 95% of all retail business in the US, the existing analytics and business intelligence tools are woefully inadequate compared to e-commerce,” said August Capital partner Vivek Mehra in a statement. “We were impressed with BVI Networks’ technology and customer traction and are excited to lead their round of financing.”
