SimpliVT, a Waltham, MA-based stealth-mode startup founded by software entrepreneur Doron Kempel, has wrapped up a $9.2 million equity-based round of funding from eight unnamed investors, according to an SEC filing. The company does not yet have a website revealing its products or technology, though Kempel told me on the phone that his startup is in the IT infrastructure software space. Kempel previously co-founded Framingham, MA-based Diligent Technologies, a data de-duplication software startup that was acquired by IBM in 2008, the same year that SimpliVT was founded, according to today’s SEC document. SimpliVT raised about $1 million in its first round of funding last October, according to a regulatory document.
