Cash infusion from Vencore Capital will help company expand offerings.

We're delighted to have the opportunity to provide growth capital to Pipeline Wireless and to participate in their success

Fall River, Mass. (PRWEB) March 19, 2008 -- Pipeline Wireless (www.pipeline-wireless.com), Boston's leading wireless Internet provider, today announced it has received a cash infusion of $500,000 from Vencore Capital (www.vencorecapital.com), based in Portland, Ore. Pipeline Wireless, which boasts one of the lowest customer turnover rates in the industry, is a full-service, WiMAX-ready, services provider offering Internet access to businesses in the greater Boston, Fall River and New Bedford, Mass. markets. This financial backing will allow Pipeline Wireless to generate new customer offerings throughout and beyond its existing business areas.

"Vencore Capital was able to do what large banks would not do; take a look at an emerging company and our business plan, gain an understanding of the market opportunity and provide the right funding," said Mike Daly, CEO of Pipeline Wireless. "From the first conversation to funding the deal, Vencore made it easy and completed the transaction in 30 days," he said.

Based on its recent success in the Boston metropolitan wireless market, Pipeline Wireless mapped out its long-term business model and then worked at length with Vencore Capital's local office in Wellesley, Mass. to specify the resources to execute that plan. Vencore Capital's cash loan will help Pipeline Wireless expand its market reach over the next six months, essentially saturating the company's target geographic areas and encompassing a variety of vertical industries. As part of the plan, Pipeline Wireless is doubling its sales and technical staff and opening a new office.

"We're delighted to have the opportunity to provide growth capital to Pipeline Wireless and to participate in their success," said Tim O'Loughlin, Northeast managing director, Vencore Capital. "We are very active growth capital lenders to emerging growth companies that are looking for alternatives to traditional venture capital and bank debt. Our due diligence confirmed that the company is growing because they are providing a valuable service to very satisfied customers. It's a pleasure to be working with a team that shares our sense of urgency to make things happen for their clients," O'Loughlin said.
