Investment in Real-Status Limited

Braveheart Investment Group plc (AIM: BRH) ('Braveheart' or the 'Group'), the AIM-listed specialist in growth capital investments for business angels, high net worth individuals and family offices, announces that Envestors Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary, has arranged financing for Real-Status Limited, a developer of advanced software.

Since Royce Murphy, CEO of Real Status, presented in November 2010 to the Envestors Private Investor Club, the business has raised £895,000, including funding introduced through Envestors. Envestors provides a service matching high growth companies with high net worth investors and family offices.

HyperGlance software developed by Real-Status uses graphics and modelling techniques from the computer games industry to create dynamic and real-time models of complete information and communication technology infrastructures. Companies are spending $1.3 billion on "dashboard and analysis software".  However, by using Real Status' Hyperglance product, the chief technology officer can navigate through the network, and base key IT management decisions on complete and up-to-date information. 

Real-Status was formed through the collaboration of two successful Cambridge-based companies: Intergence Systems (an IT consulting business) and Geomerics (a games graphics company). From his recent sales trips to Dubai and California, Mr Murphy now has two paying customers from a prospect list of 30 companies expressing interest. To see the product preview in Dubai please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lybqsI-oqDE.

Commenting on the investment, Oliver Woolley Managing Director of Envestors, said: "Royce has built and sold two software companies and this investment underlines our members' confidence in Real-Status."

Royce Murphy commented: "A key problem for the Chief Technology Officers of large corporates is the ability to map its thousands of servers, switches and other devices.  Real-Status uses games software technology to create a real-time 3D model of a large company's entire ICT infrastructure."
