NEW YORK (AP) - NowPublic, a startup that lets nonprofessionals post news accounts and images on its Web site, said Monday it raised $10.6 million in venture capital.
Rho Ventures and Rho Canada led the Series A financing. Canadian venture capital groups Brightspark and GrowthWorks Capital Ltd., two early investors in the Vancouver, British Columbia-based startup, also participated.
NowPublic.com said more than 100,000 people from more than 140 countries have uploaded text, photos, video or audio to the site. The Associated Press began working with NowPublic earlier this year to obtain information, images and video from citizen journalists for distribution to news organizations.
