May 23, 2006 — Saying that its listing on the NASDAQ has played a big role in Harris & Harris (NASDAQ: TINY) becoming one of the venture capital firms with the most investments in nanotechnology, company Chairman and CEO, Charles Harris, rang the closing bell. He was accompanied by employees of the New York-based firm.

Harris celebrated the company’s 13th anniversary by ringing the closing bell. “Of our eight portfolio companies which have completed initial public offerings, seven have listed on NASDAQ,” Harris said in a written statement. “Moreover, over the last three years, our company has been able to raise capital to invest in start-up tiny-technologies companies through three underwritten offerings of our shares.”

Harris & Harris is a publicly traded venture capital company that now makes initial investments exclusively in what it calls ‘tiny technology,’ including nanotechnology, microsystems and MEMS. The company’s last 30 initial private equity investments have been in tiny technology-enabled companies.
