| MetaLINCS was founded to address the growing problem of intelligently finding important information within email repositories. Email has become the cornerstone of business communications and organizations. The automatic capture of email communication in messaging systems creates a natural record of critical messages, context of important decisionsand inherent communication patterns. Consequently, organizations are spending billions of dollars on email analysis, often as part of an investigatory discovery process or EDiscovery. Current technologies and traditional methods do not leverage the unique qualities of electronic messaging and hence do not adequately address this issue. The application of single techniques such as keyword search, knowledge management, databases or natural language processing are not sufficient. What is required is an intelligent combination of multiple technologies. | $8.8M / Series A / Jul 11, 2005 | ||

| Pixim is a hardware company that builds chips for video cameras.Pixim's Digital Pixel System® technology revolutionizes the way video cameras capture and process images. Unlike traditional cameras, where each pixel cannot adjust to highlights and lowlights in the same scene, Pixim's patented Digital Pixel System® technology empowershundreds of thousands of pixels to act like individual cameras constantly self-adjusting. This all-digital system enables Pixim-powered cameras to efficiently capture the whole picture, regardless of lighting condition or application – thus securing the highest resolution, natural color and clarity, while automatically eliminating image-compromising visual noise (e.g., glare, reflections). The result is more than superb image quality; it is accurate, actionable information that gives users the strength of certainty. | $12M / Jun 09, 2005 | ||
