Constant Contact a leading email marketing service for small businesses, nonprofit organizations and associations, recently announced that it has closed a $15 million round of venture capital financing.

The Company’s existing investors, including Commonwealth Capital Ventures, Hudson Ventures, Longworth Venture Partners, and Morgan Stanley Venture Partners, are providing an additional $5 million.

“Our phenomenal growth in the past few years has shown the important role email marketing plays in the growth and success of thousands of small businesses and organizations across the U.S.,” said Gail Goodman, CEO of Constant Contact. “While we have been operating cash flow positive for the past two years, this additional capital provides us a tremendous opportunity to gain significant market share and expand our reach, given the readiness of the small business market.”
