In some impressive news, Redback Technologies have today announced their AU$ 9.3m Series A investment from EnergyAustralia. Congratulations to Phil Livingston, Paul Liddell and all of the Redback team!
After arriving at ilab in April 2015 with two founders, some important foundation technology and some initial seed capital, Redback have quickly expanded their offerings, brought product to market and established significant industry and distribution partnerships.
One of those partnerships, as blogged previously, is UQ, through UniQuest and ilab. UQ has been important partner in the journey to date, and Redback and UQ will continue to develop a multi-layered partnership.
It has been inspiring to watch this exciting startup company grow and to have played a part in their journey so far. It will be even more exciting to support their next level of growth enabled by this strategic investment.
