Hootsuite Is Raising $50M At A $500M Valuation

It was just over a month ago that social media management platform HootSuite picked up $20 million in a secondary investment round that valued the company at $200 million. Now we have heard from multiple sources that the company is looking to better than double that: HootSuite is in the process of raising a $50 million round at a $500 million valuation. And what's making this even more interesting are the investors that are being mentioned in connection with the round: HootSuite is looking to have discussions with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google -- a sign of how the surge in social media investments is also giving a lift to companies that are figuring out ways to harness that for third parties.
