Carbonite, Inc., a Boston, MA-based provider of online backup, has closed a $20m mezzanine funding round, which brings the total amount of financing that the company has raised to date to approximately $67m.
The round was led by Crosslink Capital, with participation from all existing investors, including Menlo Ventures, Performance Equity, and Common Angels Fund.
In conjunction with the funding, Gary Hromadko, venture partner at Crosslink, will join the company’s board of directors.
