Everspin Technologies today announced that it has closed a Series B financing, raising $15 million to accelerate growth in the enterprise storage market and support the launch of its ground-breaking Spin-Torque MRAM (ST-MRAM) products. Investors in the round included leading venture capital firms New Venture Partners, Sigma Partners, Lux Capital, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, and Epic Ventures.

Everspin's MRAM is the fastest non-volatile memory with virtually unlimited endurance, providing superior solutions for non-volatile SRAM and DRAM applications and complementing incumbent memory technologies such as NAND and DRAM.

'Our MRAM products bring new levels of reliability, performance and endurance to persistent memory applications,' said Phil LoPresti, president and CEO of Everspin Technologies. 'The support we've seen from leading investors is a vote of confidence that we've developed an only-in-class technology and are making a significant impact on the global memory market. We will use this new funding to productize our ground breaking Spin-Torque MRAM technology, significantly broadening the multi-billion dollar market opportunity.'
