SYDNEY: According to a just-released filing, Pinterest is looking to raise over half a billion dollars and it’s already over halfway there.
Pinterest has already raised $367 million dollars in this latest round, and they’re still open to raising another $211 million before they’re done.
If Pinterest sell its entire offering, this latest round which would be Pinterest’s Series G will come in at $577,916,906.
The company confirmed that its valuation now sits at $11 billion. Meanwhile, a Pinterest rep tells the company will use this latest round to “fuel international expansion” amongst other things.
Since launching in 2009, Pinterest has raised $764M dollars; once this round closes (whether or not they raise the full $578M), they’ll have surpassed the billion dollar mark.
