Vancouver-based start-up Zeugma Systems Inc. announced a $22.5 million B round of financing last week, taking its total funding to $38.25 million. The financing was led by new investor Vertex Venture Capital. The syndicate members include returning investors Granite Ventures, Ventures West, Yaletown Venture Partners, GrowthWorks Capital Ltd. and BDC Venture Capital, as well as new investors GTD Capital and BC Advantage Funds.
