A Richmond-based pharmaceutical manufacturing company founded this year to help build a strategic, national reserve of essential medications has raised $15 million from investors.
Phlow Corp. raised the money in an equity funding round, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company could seek $5 million more for a total capital raise of $20 million, according to the Nov. 20 filing. Four investors have participated in the capital raise.
Separately, the company filed a notice two days earlier with the SEC for about $8 million in options, warrants and other rights to acquire securities.
