SANTA ANA, October 11, 2016 – QuantumSphere, Inc. (OTCQB: QSIM), a producer of advanced catalyst materials designed to improve production efficiencies in large-scale industrial chemical processes, today announced that it has engaged US Capital Partners Inc. as its strategic advisor for a $4M growth equity funding.
Kevin Maloney, Chief Executive Officer of QuantumSphere, said: “We couldn’t be more pleased to be working with US Capital Partners, as our growth funding round comes on the heels of a commercial validation of our lead ammonia catalyst product, our tenth issued patent, and a recent commercialization agreement executed with 95-year-old pioneer Casale, SA. We chose US Capital for their digital platform, distribution system, and their history of advising and raising capital for a broad range of companies offering diverse technologies. Their team has assisted in the analysis and consideration of financial alternatives available to QuantumSphere, and their knowledge and flexibility have made this process a smooth experience.”
QuantumSphere plans to use the proceeds raised in this new equity offering to provide working capital for the production of nanocatalysts, purchase of fixed assets, retirement of outstanding debt, and to meet other current and future working capital needs as it pursues its growth plans.
