Nashua, NH , April 18, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Beacon Angels, a premier Boston area investor group has once again funded XCube R&D, barely six months after it picked up XCube to invest in October of 2016.

"XCube first impressed Beacon in its seed phase as having developed a unique and essential technology for the self-driving car. We have just doubled our investment because management has made several key operational moves, and now appears to be on the verge of delivering on its promise of partnering with very significant potential customers both within and without the automotive industry. The Beacon membership, myself included, is very hopeful and optimistic for XCube's prospects."
