Venga, a US-based guest management system for restaurants, has raised an undisclosed amount in its series A round from a consortium including BR Venture Fund, the student-run university venturing fund at Cornell University’s Johnson School of Management.
The company’s regulatory filing showed in September it had raised $846,000 of a planned $2.2m round.
The University of Kentucky has formed an industry-university partnership to advance aspects such as sustainable agriculture in the whiskey distilling industry.
The £40m recently allocated by the UK government to proving university research is commercially viable shouldn't just benefit Oxford, Cambridge and London say sector pundits.
