Kwippit Raises $2.5M

Denver-based Kwippit, a startup developing an app that lets users send images via text, email, and other apps to help users enhance their messages, has raised $2.5M in a seed funding, the company disclosed today. The funding came from Wildcat Capital Management and Dave Leyrer of FirstMark Capital.

The company sources its images from independent artists, who apply to publish their images on the site. More information »
