Exa Corporation

Series H in 2004
Exa develops, market, sell, and support software products, and provide professional services for simulation-driven design. Leading manufacturers use their fluid flow, heat transfer, and acoustic simulation solutions to optimize the performance of their products, reduce product development costs, and improve the efficiency of their design and engineering processes. Global transportation manufacturers face increasing pressure, from government mandates as well as from their customers, to improve the efficiency of their products and reduce the impact on our environment. This requires more efficient and alternative power trains, more efficient vehicle shapes, and reductions in weight — all of which can be significantly improved by the adoption of simulation-driven design. Simulation-driven design empowers engineers to predict product performance early in the design process, reducing late-stage design changes and reducing (or eliminating) expensive physical prototypes and tests. Their solutions encourage rapid iteration between design and analysis. They provide critical insight into how potential design variations impact the range of possible performance, and enable the discovery of solutions that optimize the trade-offs between competing design and engineering constraints and requirements.

Khimetrics

Venture Round in 2001
More than a decade ago, two seasoned pricing experts forged an idea into a company with a singular focus: increasing profitability for retailers. The idea was to take revenue management - a relevant technology proven in other industries - and adapt it to retail. Through revenue management, retailers, too, would use consumer demand to develop pricing strategies that deliver sustained improvements in financial performance. Retail revenue management and KhiMetrics, an application software company, were born together with patents and proven methodologies. KhiMetrics defined market leadership as requiring retail focus, practical innovation, flexibility, gifted and committed people and stability. Today, several years after KhiMetrics launched the first revenue management solution, these leadership qualities still prevail and have helped the world's leading retailers generate gross profit increases of 5 to 15 percent and corresponding sales increases of 1 to 5 percent.
