After going two quarters without any sales, data storage firm LeoNovus (TSX-V: LTV) says a software licence agreement with a Silicon Valley-based chip design company is the first step towards raising an estimated $1.3 million by the end of next month.
The sale to Soft Machines Inc. – which itself was purchased by Intel last week for $300 million – is worth $330,000, Ottawa-based LeoNovus said in a statement.
The local firm added that it expects to receive a further $1 million in director and corporate loans by the end of October.
