The social network for sharing photos by interest raised $ 225 million in its last round, which values ​​the now $ 3.8 billion.


The platform Pinterest , which allows users to post their interests through photos "pinned" on the internet centers, has seen its value rise to $ 3.8 billion at the time of a new round according to the specialized site AllThingsD.
Pinterest, citing several people familiar with the matter, on this occasion raised $ 225 million . Many of the current shareholders of the site, whose investment fund Andreessen Horowitz, FirstMark Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners and Valiant Capital Management, participated in the new round of the table. But it was not for the Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten, which has invested in the past $ 100 million in Pinterest.
The development of the site is experiencing explosive growth, as it was still worth 2.5 billion in February, during his previous fundraising.
