Personal finance site for women LearnVest has raised $12 million in new funding (out of a $19 million round) according to a recent SEC filing. Last year, the startup raised $4.5 million from Accel Partners and seed investors. LearnVest, which launched at TechCrunch50 in 2009, has a simple goal: to help women organize their finances and learn how to become financially savvy. It’s kind of like an online version of financial planner Suze Orman blended with personal finance site Mint.com.
