Online education publisher KNeoMedia (KNM) has completed a $2.5 million placement to accelerate its U.S. activities.

KNeoMedia said it will use the funds to accelerate its U.S activities and that it will focus on converting existing sales into deployments.

KNeoMedia CEO James Kellett says the company is also working to widening its supply channels within the U.S. and beyond.

“The US remains our primary focus and we are predominantly focused on two sales channels here – the ‘Connect all Kids’ initiative and direct-to-schools. We are exploring other avenues to broaden sales and we look forward to reporting on these initiatives,” he said.

Company shares are down 9.09 per cent and trading for two cents each at market close.
