OMERS Ventures joins Rover.com's $65 mln fundraising
Rover.com, a Seattle, Washington network of pet sitters and dog walkers, has secured US$65 million in funding. The round was led by Spark Capital and joined by new and existing investors, including Canadian venture capital firm OMERS Ventures. Earlier this year, Rover.com acquired DogVacay, a U.S. online care service for pet owners that was previously backed by OMERS Ventures. Founded in 2011, Rover.com said it expects to see a 200 percent increase in net revenue in 2017. It will use the funds raised for global expansion, brand awareness and to launch new services.
