Clearbanc secures $395 mln to fuel e-commerce funding model
Clearbanc, a Toronto-based provider of marketing capital for e-commerce brands, has raised about $395 million (US$300 million) in additional financing. The equity portion, reportedly about $66 million (US$50 million), was led by U.S. venture capital firm Highland Capital Partners. It was joined by Inovia Capital and Emergence Capital, both of which invested in last year's combined $160 million (US$120 million) financing. The balance of the new round, led by Arcadia Funds and Upper90, will capitalize a fund intended to back Clearbanc's e-commerce clients. Led by co-founders and CEOs Andrew D’Souza and Michele Romanow, Clearbanc is the creator of the 20-Min Term Sheet, which offers a non-dilutive alternative to traditional funding sources.
