VoltDB, a Billerica, MA-based maker of database software for rapid transaction-based processes, has wrapped up a $5 million equity-based round of funding, according to an SEC filing. The document notes that the money comes from four investors, and lists members of Sigma Partners and Kepha Partners as VoltDB directors. The company, which targets its products at customers in the Web 2.0, gaming, financial, telecommunications, and software-as-a-service spaces, was founded in 2009 by Michael Stonebraker, a database technology veteran who has also helped start Vertica Systems, SciDB, and Goby.
