Date Announced: 03 Mar 2011 Plymouth, MN – Twin Cities Angels, LLC (TCA) announced today the recent closing of investments in Once Innovations, Inc. (ONCE), a Plymouth, MN based LED technology development company. Since 2006, the TCA has provided members with opportunities to obtain outstanding financial returns by investing in early-stage technology companies.“We are very pleased to secure funding from the Twin Cities Angels,” said Zdenko Grajcar, CEO of ONCE. “It’s a testament to our innovative technologies and a recognition that we’re poised for rapid growth in our efforts to expand licensing of our technologies to the general illumination market as well as to increase our direct sales of products to agricultural markets.”ONCE has emerged as a leading manufacturer of LED lighting designed specifically for the poultry market.

These features help enhance flock performance that can lead to more profits for producers.Mr. Grajcar further indicated that the relationship with the TCA would be an advantage in expanding market penetration and an aid in ongoing research and development.
