Pyxis Mobile pulls in $2M in new funding

By Rodney H. Brown

Pyxis Mobile Inc., a Waltham maker of mobile applications for the financial services industry, has taken in $2 million in new funding, according to federal documents. The company, founded in 1998, has raised almost $15 million in venture funding to date.

Previous backers for Pyxis include Ascent Venture Partners, Egan-Managed Capital and Brook Private Equity. The latest filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission noted as directors of the company Travis Connors of Egan-Managed Capital and Brian Garvin of Ascent.

In May of 2008, Pyxis replaced co-founder Shane Hughes as CEO with Fidelity Investments veteran Robert Mazzarella, who was also named chairman of the company. 

Pyxis also has locations in New York and, as of November 2007, Chicago. Among its customer list are such companies as Blackstone Group, Deutsche Asset Management, Manulife, New York Life Investment and Northeastern University.

In addition to landing new funding, Pyxis today announced its new version of its software, 7.1, now featuring support for the Android operating system.
