An Adelaide-based energy management software and services company that grew out of Mitsubishi Motors’ exit from Australia has taken its first equity cheque, securing backing from Los Angeles growth capital firm Angeleno Group.

AZZO, established by Mitsubishi head of maintenance and engineering John Azzollini in 2005, has raised $20 million as part of its Series A funding round from the clean energy and climate solutions investment firm and its own management. So far, the company has not received any government grants or debt.
