If U go right back, eg to 2003, you will see that they got funding from major partners back then.



I think the development costs are so high in their game that they (periodically) run into heavy debt and need to be bailed out. I think it's par for the course. The big question is whether they can get a major injection of funds again to give them another 2 to 3 years of 'survival' capital.

Good to see that the last paragraph of your post 79 mentions BASF Venture Capital. They were around in 2003 too: :-)

look at the backers VC Arm of Volvo Leads $14 Million Investment in Series B Funding for SDCmaterials, Inc.
Filed under: Venture Capital News - admin @ 8:26 am
SDCmaterials, Inc. has announced today that it has closed $14 million in series B funding with Volvo Technology Transfer leading the funding. VTT is the venture arm of Swedish car maker, Volvo and it manly invests in companies that Volvo has an interest in. VTT also has an industrial arm together with Volvo, manufacturing trucks, and VTT is the second largest truck maker in the world.

Other investors participating in this round of funding include Invus Financial Advisors, BASF Venture Capital GmbH., and other private investors.

SDCmaterials is a company that is based in Temple, Arizona and has unique nano-material fabrication and integration processes that deliver significant benefits to customers who are reaching the limits of more orthodox production.

The catalysts that are manufactured by SCDmaterials are unique in that they reduce the consumption of precious metals and improve performance, as well as increasing the longevity of emissions and chemical production applications. Furthermore, SDC ceramics additives also make their ceramics components stronger and more fracture resistant and therefore more appealing to military armor applications. The company was founded in 2004 and has been dedicated to improve the automotive industry with its nano-material fabrications and processes.

According to Maximilian Biberger, CEO of SDC Materials; having VTT investing in the company is a very significant event for SDCmaterials. Because VTT is the world's second largest truck maker, SDCmaterials will have access to accounts that can generate enormous profit from its catalysts. The fact that VTT has chosen to invest in SDCmaterials means that they believe in the company and have confidence in the technology that SDC Materials produces for them.

According to Anders Brannstrom, CEO of VTT; the materials that are manufactured by SDCmaterials are a great opportunity for VTT to reduce their manufacturing costs, by incorporating their catalysts into the trucks that VTT manufactures. Furthermore, the technology that SDCmaterials offers also makes a good investment opportunity for VTT and Volvo.

VTT or Volvo Technology Transfer AB is the corporate vc arm of the Volvo Group and is part of the Swedish automotive complex, building heavy-duty trucks as well as cars. Volvo has had a strong presence in Europe and North America for over 80 years and over that period of time, the Volvo Group has built a reputation of making transportation vehicles that are of high quality and good performance.
