Kiddar Capital is an influential member of the real estate and construction industry and Navitas is a seasoned investor in this space – the perfect springboard for Aquicore to expand in an impactful and deliberate way for our current and future customers,” he added.
The funding was led by Kiddar Capital, a forerunner in smart city venture capital, with Navitas Capital, a Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm focused on real estate, and intelligent building solutions.
Kiddar Capital, founded by construction and real estate veteran Todd Hitt, is committed to helping Aquicore realize explosive sales growth.
