Punchbowl Inc. has dropped the word ‘Software’ from its name and added $580,000 of a planned $1 million new funding round to the Framingham company’s coffers, according to federal documents.
The filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not identify the 14 backers in this latest round by name, but previous investors include New York-based Contour Venture Partners, Intel Capital, the investment arm of Intel Corp. and the eCoast Angel Network, a Portsmouth, N.H.-based angel investment group. Punchbowl last took in funding with a $2.1 million Series A round in 2008.
The party planning website company made a number of acquisitions in November, including buying key assets and technology from Socializr Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Nearly one year prior, Punchbowl bought the assets of the group travel website ImIn.com from its parent GroupGo LLC of Waltham for an undisclosed amount.
Punchbowl was co-founded in 2006 as Punchbowl Software Inc. by CEO Matt Douglas, a former product development manager for Adobe Systems Inc. Initially, its website was www.mypunchbowl.com, but has since changed to simply www.punchbowl.com. Including a $750,000 angel round the company raised in 2007, Punchbowl has taken in a little more than $3.2 million in investment since it was launched.
