DURHAM – NALA Systems, a woman-owned startup in Durham developing a desalination technology, has raised an oversubscribed seed round of $700,000. The round was targeted at $600,000. The oversubscribed round was led by Good Growth Capital with a first tranche closed in October 2020 that included support from NC-based angels at RTP Capital and Wilmington Angels for Local Entrepreneurs (WALE). Oval Park Capital completed the round as the sole investor in the second tranche. “We appreciate the confidence that our investors have shown in the NALA team and we are excited to apply the seed capital toward producing prototype membranes that will be game-changing for the industry. Using our IP-protected materials and commercially-viable manufacturing process we will demonstrate the first competitive chlorine-tolerant reverse osmosis (RO) membrane in the market,” Sue Mecham, CEO, said in a statement.
