ON24, Inc. (www.ON24.com), the global leader in webcasting and virtual events solutions, announced that it has secured over $8 million in equity and expansion capital financing. U.S. Venture Partners, Canaan Partners, and Rho Ventures led the equity round; while Gold Hill Capital led the expansion capital financing. This brings ON24's total capital raised to more than $46 million. The funds will be used to accelerate ON24's global expansion of the sales, marketing and client services organizations; and product development initiatives, including ON24 Virtual Show and the company's flagship webcasting platform.
ON24 continues to experience strong customer and sales momentum, with over 40% sales growth year over year.
