Transaction Information

On April 14, 2011, Littlebanc Advisors, LLC, announced the completion of a $3 million Series A Preferred financing for Apollidon, Inc. Littlebanc acted as the sole placement agent and financial advisor to the company.

The round was funded by Sopris Capital Associates, a venture capital firm that partners and provides funding to early and growth stage companies. As part of the transaction, Jon Kaiden, Principal and Founding Member of Sopris, will join Apollidon's Board of Directors and provide strategic guidance and relationships to the company.

The $3 million capital raise will allow Apollidon to accelerate development of its education marketing programs for its network of public universities dedicated to creating and implementing high quality and economical distance learning programs and services.
