DALLAS, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Allied BioScience, maker of revolutionary residual antiviral surface coating SurfaceWise2™ , announced today that Midwestern private equity firm Capital7, LLC has made an early stage investment in its Series C Preferred Stock.
"After substantial due diligence, the Capital7 team decided to utilize our venture capital arm to invest in this exciting new patented chemical technology. Allied Bioscience represents a huge growth opportunity to provide consumers and industries such as mass transportation, sports, gaming and concert venues, healthcare, education services, military, government and other industries with an effective residual antiviral surface coating to combat the spread of bacteria and viruses including Covid-19," said Jared Sprole, Executive Director at Capital7.
