Along with funding and hiring, we often cover D.C.-area companies exiting the scene or being acquired by another company. For the second month in a row, we’re bringing you this acquisition roundup of #dctech companies making acquisitions to continue to scale their growth here.

We’re trying to make this a regular thing, so here we go. Let’s take a look at some local companies making M&A moves:

Logan Circle-based Aquicore helps buildings monitor their usage of all utilities (electricity/gas/water/steam/BTU) in real time and this acquisition helps expand their software offerings. Now combined, Aquicore and Entic are used across 250 million square feet of commercial real estate space, which includes more than 700 offices, the companies noted in a statement.

“I couldn’t be more excited about the merging of these two teams. Together, we will propel the proptech industry forward, giving the commercial real estate industry a powerful solution unlike any it’s ever seen,” Aquicore founder and CEO Logan Soya said in a statement.
