US-based venture capital firm Great Hill Partners has backed Danish software company Eloomi with $55m in a series-B funding round.

Existing investors, including founder Claus Johansen, Kennet Partners, and VF Ventures, also invested DKK 45m (€7m) in the company. 

According to Borsen, the GP acquired a third of the company in a deal that valued Eloomi at more than DKK 1bn (€163.6m).
