According to the Boston Business Journal, Boston-based BoardProspects, which offers a site connecting companies and nonprofits with potential board members, said Wednesday it's raised a $2.4 million Series A round from about 20 angel investors.

The investors were not named. The funding follows the release of a new version of the company's online platform in August.

Founded in 2010, the company had previously raised $750,000 in seed funding in 2011.

BoardProspects is a social network-like online recruitment platform that allows nonprofits and companies of all sizes to search for candidates for their various governing and advisory boards, CEO and founder Mark Rogers said in a previous interview.

Conversely, through its two-way search and matching technology, it gives prospects the ability to look for board openings or express interest in serving on a particular board, while presenting their background and qualifications. The site also offers educational tools and resources from experts, such as white papers, blogs and webinars.

“It’s bringing boardroom recruitment into the modern age,” Rogers said in the interview.
