Rohati Systems, the leader in high-performance Network-Based Entitlement Control (NBEC) solutions, today announced it has secured $12 million in a second round of funding from Foundation Capital and Matrix Partners. Matrix Partners and Foundation Capital participated in Rohati's Series A funding round, this investment marks a significant increase in their commitment to the company. This round brings Rohati's total amount raised to $22.6 million, and will be used to expand marketing, sales and support, and deliver additional unique capabilities to the Rohati Transaction Networking System (TNS ) platform. Rohati's clear endorsement from the venture community is based on strong early customer and market validation.
"We are very pleased with the progress Rohati has made since our initial investment in 2005. The significant increase in valuation in this round is a testament to the rapid progress that the team has made," said Shirish Sathaye, general partner at Matrix Partners. "Rohati is helping redefine the security market. This round, combined with the increased pace of activity with partners and customers will solidify Rohati's leadership position in high-performance Network-Based Entitlement Control."
"Rohati continues to be an excellent investment opportunity for numerous reasons. The company has the right combination of management talent, market expertise and proven ability to execute," said Adam Grosser, general partner at Foundation Capital. "More importantly, Rohati is addressing a real issue for organizations - the ability to cost-effectively administer and enforce entitlement policies across all applications and users as companies open up their networks, data, and applications to customers, employees, and partners."
"Enterprises are dealing with a rapidly changing and much more collaborative business environment and CIO's are under a lot of strain to adapt the IT infrastructure to meet these new demands," stated Shane Buckley, CEO of Rohati. "With initial investment from Foundation Capital and Matrix Partners, we have achieved major milestones in filling these gaps while significantly increasing our valuation. This new round of investment clearly demonstrates that they continue to be excited about the opportunity."
The company will debut its first products in July 2008.
