Genero, the creative technology platform which already counts Ashok Jacob's Ellerston Capital on its register, has added $5 million to its coffers in an Ad Astra-advised funding round, Street Talk can reveal.

Melbourne's Acorn Capital, which specialises in emerging companies, delivered the cash injection from a combination of its private opportunities and expansion funds in an effort spearheaded by investment director Andrew Burt. Proceeds of the raise will be used to turbocharge Genero's global growth and develop its technology platform.
