Logitech Spins Off Videoconferencing Division To Focus on Retail Business

Logitech spun off its Lifesize videoconferencing division into a private entity to focus on its retail business, it said Tuesday. Three investors -- Redpoint Ventures, Sutter Hill Ventures and Meritech Capital Partners -- plugged $17.5 million into Lifesize and join Logitech as shareholders. Logitech will own 37.5 percent of the videoconferencing company. Logitech said the spinoff of Lifesize was part of its transformation to a “simpler, faster” company. It will separate Lifesize from its financials beginning with Q4 of fiscal 2016.
