Venture capital firm Globespan Capital Partners has led a $15m C round of mobile hardware and software solution company Perfecto Mobile.

Globespan Capital Partners, a global venture capital firm with over $1bn under management has led the $15m C round of funding for Vodafone-backed Perfecto Mobile, a US-based provider of remote access and automated testing solutions for mobile devices. Israeli venture capital firm Carmel Ventures, Vertex Management, who are the wholly owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings Limited and the Waisbein Fund also participated in the round.

Globespan primarily invests in go-to-market rounds of information technology, Internet and mobile communications companies.

Vodafone invested an un-disclosed amount in the start-up in 2010. The investment was for Perfecto to develop its mobile handset cloud mobile application testing software. Perfecto raised $7m in Series B funding in 2009 from existing investors Carmel Ventures and Vertex Venture Capital and $6.6m in Series A funding in 2007. Founded in 2006 in Israel under the name Nexperience, Perfecto has now raised around $32m.

This funding will fuel the required innovation to complete our vision of creating an end-to-end, cloud based, enterprise-ready solution.”
