Exploring & expressing grief

Support groups and events, as well as creative therapies and professional counseling, are all ways in which Pathways supports individuals dealing with grief and loss.

This week’s notable rounds:

Internet infrastructure constructor Congruex LLC raised $11.6 million Friday, slightly more than a week after it acquired a utilities provider in southeast Georgia. The new haul brings the Boulder company’s total funding over its history to $138.12 million.

Venture-capital firm V1.VC opened a new round to investors with a $12 million fundraiser on Friday. The firm operates in Boulder and San Francisco, and invests in seed-stage consumer, software-as-a-service and experimental technology companies.
