ORIX Ventures, a provider of debt and equity capital for growing technology companies nationwide, and Fuhu, Inc., the creator of the nabi tablet, announced the closing of a $10 million venture debt financing.

“Fuhu, Inc. is redefining how children interact with technology in ways that are uniquely innovative and inspirational,” said Michael David, managing director and co-head of ORIX Ventures, the division of Dallas-based ORIX USA Corp that provides both debt and equity financing for growing companies. “We know there is incredible growth in the children’s technology vertical, and we are excited to support Fuhu, Inc. as it continues its category dominance in this dynamic market with the nabi 2 tablet.”

Fuhu, Inc. debuted the nabi 2 tablet last month. Built on Android 4.0, the nabi 2 is powered by the NVIDIA Tegra 3 Processor, which allows for a device that is incredibly stable, powerful, graphically superior and more.

We are thrilled to have the experience, creativity, and support of such an established partner as ORIX Ventures.”
