Acunu, a London, UK-based data storage specialist, has raised £3.6m in funding.
Backers include Imperial Innovations Group plc (AIM: IVO, ‘Innovations’), which invested invested £1.25m, and existing investors Eden Ventures, Pentech Ventures and Oxford Technology Management.
The company intends to use the capital to further develop its product market positioning and build its sales team.

Following the investment, Jon Edington, Director of Technology Ventures at Innovations, will join the board as non-executive director.
