Crowdfunded data enrichment platform CrowdFlower, scooped up $12.5 million in Series C financing earlier this week. The round was led by Canvas Venture Fund and saw participation from existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners and Trinity Ventures, bringing the total amount raised by the company to $28 million.

Rebecca Lynn, the General Partner of Canvas explains their investment, “Having worked at P&G where every product and brand strategy is based on exhaustive analysis of data, I naturally gravitated to CrowdFlower’s vision to help companies realize the real potential of Big Data.”

“CrowdFlower’s platform takes the pain out of managing an on-demand workforce to deliver accurate and fast results so that organizations can base their important business decisions on data they can trust,” she added.
