Ann Arbor Avegant lands $4M in investment for 3D goggles

Three… no, four words: Hi-Def 3D goggles. Guess what's going to be the next hot tech development? At least, Intel thinks so, investing $2 million in Ann Arbor startup Avegant.

Intel took $2 million of it and the existing investors took the rest. They took it off the table. I still can’t believe I got shut out.” Having would-be VC investors salivating at the idea of writing you a check, and being able to say no, is a nice, and rare, spot for an early-stage company to be in. How Ann Arbor-based Avegant Corp. got to that spot is an interesting tale of being in the right place at the right time with the right technology." Read the rest here.
