Etsy's New Financing And What They Are Going To Do With It

Last week Union Square Ventures participated in a Series D round for Etsy. We have participated in every round of financing for the company and pleased to have been able to invest in such an exciting opportunity.

CEO Rob Kalin outlines in this post what they are going to do with the money and how they plan to grow Etsy over the next two and a half years.

If you've never shopped on Etsy, you should go do that. It's a wonderful experience.
