Grand Forks companies receive funding
Ntractive, Grand Forks, was awarded a $300,000 equity investment by the North Dakota Development Fund for working capital as the company launches its product, a computing solution called Elements SBM, which is focused on the Mac market.
A release from the NDDF said Ntractive plans to expand its employee base from six to 13 in the next year.
The funding will be provided by the Bank of North Dakota-New Venture Capital Program, which is managed by the staff of the North Dakota Development Fund.
The NDDF also issued Deceleration Technologies, Grand Forks, a $20,000 term loan to provide funding for working capital needs and a $30,000 line of credit to provide additional funding for the company's future growth.

The company was formed to invent, develop and sell Slow-n-Tell, a control module to illuminate lights on trucks based on the rate of deceleration and not upon the driver using the brake pedal. Deceleration Technology's goal is to implement this product not only on large trucks, but also on all commercial vehicles. It plans to expand its work force to four by the end of 2009.
