CapLinked, a workflow-optimization platform for secure document sharing across multiple organizations, today announced the closing of its latest funding round.
The new $3.5M financing round, which was led by Subtraction Capital, includes investments from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and Indicator Ventures.

CapLinked revealed that they plan to use this injection of capital to expand their sales and marketing efforts, accelerating the company’s recent growth.
