OREANDA-NEWS. PostBeyond, a leading employee advocacy solution that helps enterprises increase brand recognition by enabling employees to share corporate content on social media, announced today that it has raised $4 million in Series A funding, led by venture capital firm Information Venture Partners and Export Development Canada.

"With a focus on customer service and expertise, PostBeyond has emerged as the leading partner for global brands such as Molson Coors, Scotiabank, and many others," said Ivan Tsarynny, CEO and Co-founder, PostBeyond.

With this funding, we can accelerate our growth even further."

PostBeyond plans on using the newly acquired funds to expand customer engagement resources and accelerate the development of innovative solutions.

PostBeyond's proprietary employee advocacy solution helps organizations securely involve their employees in social media sharing.
