Silicon Valley Bank participated in the funding, as did existing venture investors Bessemer Venture Partners, Foundry Group, and TechStars.

The fresh funding brings Distil’s total raised to date to $65 million. The company plans to double its workforce from today’s 140 and make other resource investments.
