“We are pleased to provide another follow-on investment to Boxlight,” said Phillip Valliere, managing director at The Lind Partners. “Boxlight’s management team has exhibited a strong history of integrating successful acquisition targets, and we are confident in their ability to continue to grow through future acquisitions as well as organically. We are also impressed with the company’s progress over recent quarters including new product launches and partnerships, significant contract wins, improved earnings and healthy working capital.”
