SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—Gobiquity, a provider of mobile vision screening technology, received a $6M investment round from venture capital firm InterWest Partners in a first close of its Series B financing. The venture capital firm’s increased commitment will support the company’s commercial growth, specifically its product development and global expansion.
