December 8, 2014 –Ramat Gan, Israel – Sckipio Technologies, the leader in G.fast modem chipsets, today announced it has raised $17M USD in a Series B round led by Pitango Venture Capital and combined with follow-on investment from the original Series A investors; Gemini Israel Ventures, Genesis Partners, Amiti Ventures and Aviv Ventures.
