The workforce social media platform announced that it has raised $100 million in an equity round led by Providence Strategic Growth (PSG), an affiliate of Providence Equity Partners, LLC. The part firm is a global private equity firm with $57 billion in assets under management. This marks the second funding round that PSG has led, after Jobcase closed on a $11.5 million round last year. Overall, the transaction gives the career resource social media company a total amount raised of $118 million.

Press Release:

BOSTON, Feb. 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jobcase.com, an open-access platform dedicated to empowering people in their work-lives, has closed a $100 million in growth equity round led by Providence Strategic Growth (PSG).

The new funding will accelerate product development and services for Jobcasers (Jobcase members) via internal growth and/or strategic acquisitions. Some enhancements include, but are not limited to, sophisticated machine learning architecture that will better serve relevant content to Jobcasers, product development to increase ease of connections and community building and new integrations and APIs that enable Jobcasers to more easily promote themselves and better engage with employment opportunities.

“We are proud to help expedite Jobcase’s mission to empower people in their pursuit of a happy and meaningful work-life,” says Mark Hastings, PSG CEO. “Jobcase’s unique approach that prioritizes community has catapulted the company to its position as an industry leader.
