CHARLOTTE – Payzer, a mobile and cloud-based software provider, has closed a $9.2 million Series C round of equity, the company said.
Existing investors Route 66 Ventures, Grotech Ventures, IDEA Fund Partners, MetaBank and others as well as by Ferguson Ventures, the Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) and strategic partnering arm of Ferguson Enterprises, contributed to the funding.
Charlotte-based Payzer said it intends to use the proceeds to increase its focus on delivering software products for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, solar, and other specialty trade markets.
