Momenta Partners completes investment in Litmus Automation

Litmus Automation is pleased to announce the closing of their seed investment from Momenta Partners.

A leader in the connected car industry, Litmus has grown rapidly since releasing its flagship Loop Industrial IoT platform in 2014, establishing relationships with Nissan and Renault.

Litmus’ Loop end-to-end IoT platform addresses the critical and difficult issues that often hinder industrial manufacturing and connected car deployments as they scale up. Its LoopEdge gateway software manages everything at the edge extremely efficiently – from secure connectivity and communications to device onboarding and management.

A proven technology, Loop is already deployed with multiple manufacturers both in the Cloud and On-Premise. In addition, it earned Litmus the 2016 IoT Evolution Connected Transportation Award from IoT Evolution.

“In a sea of Industrial IoT middleware platforms, Momenta Partners has identified Litmus’ strong security and edge capabilities in small footprints as unique differentiators,” said Ken Forster, Managing Director at Momenta Partners. “We are proud to be investing in such a remarkable Connected Industry company at this exciting time.”

The funds will help Litmus grow its business development team, increase its development resources, and build out its support infrastructure to sustain its current and future customer base.
