CreativeLive, a San Francisco, CA-based creative and entrepreneurial education platform, raised a $25m round of funding.
The round, which brought total funding to date to $58.8m, was led by GSV Acceleration, with participation from new investors REV Venture Partners and Jared Leto and existing investors Greylock Partners, Social Capital, Richard Branson and Creative Artists Agency.
The company intends to use the funds to continue growth of their consumer business, to accelerate innovation around their live and on-demand video platform, and to scale their new enterprise offering.
