$5.4M for Desktone

Desktone, a maker of virtual desktop software, has raised $5.4 million out of a nearly $12.2 million equity offering, an SEC filing revealed today. The Chelmsford, MA-based company didn’t immediately respond to a request for confirmation on what round the financing represents, but the filing notes that 15 investors have participated. In 2007, Desktone closed $17 million in Series A funding, co-led by Highland Capital Partners and SoftBank Capital.
