Tiger Optics, LLC, the Leading Developer of Laser-Based Devices for Trace Gas Analysis, Announces Completion of its Series B Funding

Warrington, PA (PRWEB) June 14, 2006

Lisa Bergson, CEO of Tiger Optics, LLC, announces that the company has taken in additional financing, led by Expansion Capital Partners, LLC, of New York and San Francisco, on behalf of Clean Technology Fund II, LP, and also including the addition of new funder Georgieff Capital of Germany. This financing completes the companys Series B round.

Tiger Optics designs and manufactures Continuous Wave Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CW-CRDS) instruments for exceptionally fast, accurate, and highly sensitive detection of trace contaminants in gases. Tiger Optics exclusive worldwide rights to patented technology from Princeton University allows the company to market instruments known for accurate measurement of gaseous molecules in a variety of applications.

Tiger Optics continues to add customers in diverse markets, particularly for process gases used in semiconductor fabrication. Among its over 200 buyers, Tiger Optics counts Samsung, TI, IBM, BASF, Air Liquide, Air Products, Praxair, Linde, GM, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (N.I.S.T.), along with other leading national laboratories, semiconductor fabricators, and gas companies. Going forward, Tiger Optics will continue its expansion into automotive testing and numerous other applications, including process control analytics, environmental sensing, and medical diagnostics.

Ms. Bergson said, The completion of this financing is an important step in continuing Tiger Optics strong growth and expansion into new markets with our award-winning products. We are also extremely pleased to welcome Georgieff Capital as new investors. Their European presence, network and expertise make them valuable partners for our continued international growth. Tiger Optics products are positioned to replace a vast installed base of mature, labor intensive, less accurate, and more expensive gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, and IR spectrometers. Trace contaminant sensing with CRDS is already widely used to reduce waste and to improve process efficiencies. In semiconductor manufacturing, for instance, even minute amounts of moisture contamination can exact hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost wafer production.

Diana Propper, General Partner of Expansion Capital Partners said, We continue to be encouraged by the strong progress made by Lisa Bergson and the entire Tiger Optics team. Sensors are an increasingly important enabler of a broad set of Clean Technologies, and Tiger Optics superior, proprietary platform technology positions the company to continue their rapid expansion into new markets and applications. Tiger Optics products remain unparalleled in terms of their performance, reliability, accuracy, and ease of use.

Nicholas Atkins, Partner of Georgieff Capital, said We are excited about our involvement with Tiger Optics. Lisa and her team have done an impressive job in developing the business, and we are confident this round of financing will enable the company to reach the next level of its development. We look forward to working with the company to help achieve its global growth plans.

Our platform is used by thousands of churches every day to reach their members and their communities. Using the same CWW user interface our customers are familiar with today, well now be able to extend their reach to the three screens people use every day to keep informed, inspired, and entertained.

The three-screen user experience will be launched this spring on the web and Yahoo! Connected TV as well as on iPhone and iPad with New Life Church in the Seattle area and with World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.

Church Web Works has done a great job helping us connect with our community through our web presence, said Pastor Loran Lichty at New Life. We love Church Web Works, and were looking forward to extending our web presence to the TV and to smart phones.

In addition to enabling new features on the web with Version 5, features unique to Connected TVs and smart phones will be implemented including a store front for distributing small group content, mobile giving, video streaming, and audio streaming of Christian radio stations.
