Agiliti Inc., a technology services company that delivers internet-based infrastructure and application services, announced Monday (Jan 15) that it has raised an additional $40 million to expand its portfolio of IT infrastructure and e-commerce outsourcing services and add to its customer and partner base nationally.
Agiliti’s financing consists of a $35 million Series C equity financing, led with financing managed by American Express Financial Corporation, and a $5 million equipment lease financing provided by Transamerica Business Credit Corporation and GATX Ventures Inc.
New equity investors, in addition to those managed by American Express Financial Corporation, include Dell Ventures and Brightstone Capital. All of the company’s previous investors, including Norwest Equity Partners, Delphi Ventures, Affinity Capital Management, The Rahn Group and individual investors, also participated in the Series C equity financing.
Agiliti’s business model focuses on the immediate and growing need for outsourced infrastructure and applications via the Internet.

Agiliti delivers and manages the internet-based infrastructure and application services that enable this new IT business model.”
