Existing investors also participated in the latest round validating Zerto's strong performance and market opportunity. The financing will be used to maintain the Company's consistent, year-over-year, 100%+ sales growth with further expansion in key international regions and industries, as well as product development.

The $20 million financing is in addition to the $50 million growth financing led by IVP in early January 2016, bringing Zerto's total Series E financing to $70 million. To date, the Company has raised $130 million in financing. CRV's participation in the Series E1 round is continued validation of the enormous growth expected to come from the cloud and business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) market, as well as Zerto's solid customer growth and substantial list of satisfied users. Existing investors include: Access Industries via its Israeli entity - Claltech, 83North, Battery Ventures, Harmony Partners, IVP, RTP Ventures, and U.S. Venture Partners.

In the first quarter of 2016 alone, Zerto expanded its footprint in healthcare and financial services. This growth is attributed to the increased demand for effective, hardware agnostic and cloud agnostic BC/DR software to help maintain compliance in highly regulated industries. The Company experienced its fourth consecutive year of over 100 percent sales growth in 2015.

This additional financing enables us to continue long-term growth and product development untethered by incremental funding needs.
