    TRANSACTION OVERVIEW

    On May 10th, Nitride Solutions, a Wichita, Kansas-based nitride substrate company founded in 2009, closed a $125K investment from the SeedStep Angels as part of a larger, ongoing $1.5mm Series B preferred stock capital raise.  The Company manufactures and sells aluminum nitride substrates to original equipment manufacturers of UV devices, power devices, laser diodes, and ultra-high brightness LEDs. The company is using the proceeds of the financing to scale template production, demonstrate bulk substrate capabilities, and sample and sell to target customers.

    As part of the transaction, two members of the SeedStep Angels combined to invest $125K.  To-date, Nitride has raised $744K of the $1.5mm round which remains open to new investors.
