NewsCred, a NYC-based content marketing and syndication platform, raised $15m in funding.
The round was led by Mayfield Fund, with participation from new investor Greycroft Partners and existing investors FirstMark Capital and IA Ventures. In conjunction with the funding, Rajeev Batra, Partner at Mayfield Fund, will join NewsCred’s board.
The company intends to use the capital to scale the development of its products and technology.
