"This round of financing will augment our rapidly growing revenue stream and allow us to expand our customer base – which is over 75 to date," said CentrePath CEO Jim Sullivan.
Greylock is a private venture capital firm, with committed capital of over $2.2 billion under management, which has invested in more than 250 companies. Marino co-founded data storage company EMC Corporation, and has invested in tech ventures since his retirement in 1992. Pilot House Ventures invests in the broadband communications industry, including voice, video and data.
