New Orleans Startup Fluence Analytics Raises Series A Financing

NEW ORLEANS Fluence Analytics, formerly Advanced Polymer Monitoring Technologies (APMT), announced it has raised a Series A funding round led by Energy Innovation Capital (EIC), a venture capital firm that invests in growing companies in energy innovation.

         Fluence Analytics products optimize efficiency, cost and quality of manufacturing and R&D processes in polymer and biopharmaceutical industries, company reps said. Analysis of the confluence of realtime data generated by the company’s products allows customers to produce materials at the lowest cost with the highest quality and yield, all while minimizing environmental footprint, they said.

         The Series A funding round also included participation from other investors. Fluence Analytics patented products and services were developed with over $20 million in competitive grants and funding from investors and customers. The value of the technology is proven with two and a half years of industrial production operations and the release of second generation products in 2016, company reps said.

         “We are pleased to partner with Fluence Analytics,” said Coyle. "Fluence Analytics has demonstrated that its products deliver significant value to its customers, and we are eager to support the company’s growth.”
