NEW YORK Online video site Heavy.com is moving into new verticals and markets with a major new round of financing.

The New York-based site said it closed a $20 million financing round from Polaris Venture Partners, which invested $10 million in Heavy a year ago.

The capital infusion will be used to expand Heavy, a video site geared toward 18-34-year-old males, into new brands, including a sports site and teen destination, said Simon Assaad, co-CEO.
