Sometimes it take 10 years to build a successful company.

Kyma Technologies markets semiconductor products related to gallium nitride (GaN), aluminum nitride (AlN), and other group III-nitride based alloys, so says their website, but there's more to the story...

"There's nothing like being profitable," brags Keith Evans, President. But it hasn't always been so, the company started out with a $2.6M Series A in 2001 followed in 2003 by a $4M B-round, and lastly, at the end of 2004, a C-round of $1.5M. Why so small?

Kyma Tech, it's time for some good economic news!
