Omaha-based travel advertising company Sojern announced today that they have secured an additional $9 million in venture capital from Focus Ventures, Trident Ventures and Norwest Venture Partners. This new round of funding brings the total amount raised to $28.3 million, which includes a $16 million previous round, and $3.3 million from the founders and angel investors (from the Sojern press kit).

We often use Sojern as a shining example of high-growth startups on the Silicon Prairie, and as one of the few examples of outside venture funding taking place in the Omaha area. This funding today helps to solidify that position and will help the company to further expand their efforts and reach.
