US Capital Advises on $8MM Equity Raise for Intel Partner Simply NUC, Inc.
SAN FRANCISCO, Ca. (PRWEB) October 13, 2017 -- US Capital Partners Inc. has been engaged by Simply NUC, Inc. (“Simply NUC”) to advise on an $8 million series A equity raise. The company is an expanding Ultra Small Form Factor (USFF) technology solutions provider that has become a specialist in the build and customization of the pocket-sized portable PC sold as the Intel® NUC (Next Unit of Computing). Given the rate of growth currently being experienced by Simply NUC, the firm will be using the financing for additional team members, inventory, working capital, and imminent international expansion.
It is commonly known in the industry that the traditional desktop form PC no longer sees the highest growth in sales, as was previously the norm. In fact, rates are declining at a rate of –14% a year,(1) with businesses and consumers looking to the powerful, versatile, and easily portable “mini PC” market instead. The company provides over 200,000 customizable variations of the NUC, as well as expert advice, testing, service, warranty, and support of Intel® NUC kits, systems, solutions and accessories.
The company’s management has a close relationship with Intel, with jointly developed NUC solutions including the Digital Security and Surveillance bundle and Unite Smart Conference Room bundle. The relationship has also seen the exchange of expertise, insider product knowledge, joint product release, sales channels and referrals, which have proven extremely useful in the company’s start up years.
The future looks bright for the Intel Platinum Technology Partner, with CEO Aaron Rowsell commenting: “My team and I have worked the majority of our careers in the small form factor space and we all feel passionate about this company we have built. We are excited about our current rate of growth and profitability and that we are on this journey towards further growth with US Capital.”
“We are extremely pleased to be working on this capital raise for Simply NUC,” said Jeffrey Sweeney, Chairman and CEO at US Capital Partners. “It’s a pleasure to work with such an innovative company that is at the cusp of expansion both domestically and internationally. The opportunity to participate in Simply NUC’s Series A is now open to eligible investors through our digital investment platform, available at http://www.uscgs.com, which offers a curated selection of private placement offerings.”
