Irvine-based Zetera Corp., a maker of software that helps consumer electronics access and store data over the Internet, received $13.5 million in its first round of funding from venture investors, the company said Tuesday.
The round was led by New York-based private equity firm Warburg Pincus LLC and included existing investor San Francisco-based WI Harper.
The company’s software sits inside electronics and allows them to more efficiently send and store data on remote servers.
“Our goal is to partner with the best companies in the storage industry and help them deliver better performing products,” said Chuck Cortright, Zetera’s president and chief executive officer.
Other storage software makers have received investments lately. Aliso Viejo-based Datallegro Inc. is one.
Earlier this month, the maker of data storage and search software closed its second round of funding in the past nine months, this one worth $15 million.
Datallegro’s software is installed in a company’s server room.
