Follow on Google News | Octus Secures $5 Million Reserve Equity Financing FacilityOctus, Inc., a leading smart energy efficiency company, has entered into a definitive agreement with AGS Capital Group, a New York-based value fund, to provide investment capital of up to $5 million through a reserve equity financing facility.
“This financing facility will catalyze the near-term launch of the Octus Smart Energy Platform and three proprietary Octus products – Wickool, Octus SmartCenter, and Octus SmartPortal – in addition to providing working capital to strengthen our sales, engineering and management teams,” said Octus CEO Chris Soderquist. “The structure provides Octus with an ability to quickly raise growth capital at a competitive cost,” explained AGS Managing Partner Allen Silberstein. “Given Octus’s tremendous growth potential and the exploding smart energy market opportunity, the financing facility could significantly drive Octus’s growth.” Prior to forming AGS, Silberstein structured more than 120 PIPEs and direct investments at Visium Asset Management, L.P., a $2.5 billion value fund. While at Visium, Silberstein worked closely with Dr. Ron Laufer, who headed the private equity group. Prior to structuring private placements at Visium, Silberstein was in the Equity Derivatives Group at Deutsche Bank.
