      Zentila, a Winter Garden strategic meetings management company, has closed a $2.1M Series A round led by VoCap Ventures of Vero Beach with participation from the Florida Opportunity Fund (managed by Arsenal Venture Partners) and venVelo, both of Winter Park. Zentila, founded in 2011 by CEO Mike Mason, a 25-year veteran of the hospitality industry, provides the first online booking engine for planning and booking meetings and conventions at hotels. It enables corporate event planners to solicit pricing bids and book corporate meetings and conferences.  This financing follows Zentila’s recently announced partnership with Northstar Travel Media, the world’s leading business-to-business media company serving the travel and meetings industries, to offer its dynamic sourcing and booking platform on Northstar’s meetings and conventions online facility search. ”Communicating travel information has been Northstar’s core competency for more than 50 years, and we are constantly looking to enhance our offerings,” said Bernard Schraer, Senior Vice President and Group Publisher of Northstar Media Group. ”Zentila is a natural evolution of our services, enabling us to essentially provide a ‘one-stop-shopping’ experience for our meeting planner users.”
