NoblePeak Vision Corp. (www.noblepeak.com), whose technology is transforming the night vision market, today announced that it has raised $12.0 million in Series B equity financing. The Series B round was led by Chart Venture Partners, a new NoblePeak investor.

The Series B funding will provide growth capital as the company launches it's new, TriWave(R) night vision technology into key commercial, government and military markets.

"Our Series B round was oversubscribed," said Mike Decelle, president and CEO of NoblePeak. "This infusion of capital enables us to add key hires to our camera core design, development and manufacturing teams, plus build out our business development and customer support organizations. Our decision to work with Chart was strategic and based on their deep experience and relationships within the government and military markets."

"NoblePeak stands out in the industry as a company with a technology platform perfectly suited to achieving the vision of low-cost high-performance night vision imaging," said Cole Van Nice, partner at Chart Venture Partners. "Our team at Chart is well aware of the limitations of existing technologies and we understand the need for night vision solutions that provide world-class night image quality but at a price point that enables broad deployment in the commercial and military/government markets. We believe NoblePeak has the answer to this need."
