Open Source One

Lucid Imagination, the Massachussetts-based startup focused on support and services for open source search technologies Apache Lucene and Solr , has announced that it has secured $10 million of Series B financing.  After launching last year,  the company was among a small handful of open source companies to obtain really significant venture capital funding.  The company collected $6 million from a $7.5 million Series A funding round led by Granite Ventures and Walden International, and has also obtained funding from In-Q-Tel , the investment arm of the CIA. Lucid Imagination’s most recent round of funding includes a new investment from Shasta Ventures, and extended participation from existing investors Granite Ventures and Walden International
