As if $125 million were not enough, Box has expanded its gargantuan funding round to $150 million, according to an SEC filing.
A company spokesperson said this will allow existing investors to “make additional investments.” The cloud storage startup had not filed the paperwork for its fifth funding round until today — although the news was announced in late July. The news was originally reported in AllThingsD.
Since it closed its series E round, Box opened an office in Europe and brought on Google Docs’ founder Sam Schillace as its VP of Engineering, among other strategic hires. It also unveiled a host of new product features that make it easier for third-party developers to integrate with Box’s API.
