Pet insurance, Goriilla, Calidora and more from the SEC filings |
Register here for our next TechFlash Live networking event, March 23, featuring an expert panel discussing the future of online advertising.
As 2009 comes to an end, here's the latest installment of what we're seeing in the SEC filings. As I noted last month, we are going to begin sharing more of the raw data from these filings with readers.
A Mercer Island company by the name of Healthy Paws Pet Insurance has raised $550,000 of a $2.5 million equity financing round, according to a Dec. 23 filing. Officers of the company include Robert Jackson, Charles Jackson and Steven Siadek. Another Seattle player in the pet insurance business is Trupanion, which is backed by Maveron.
Bellevue-based Page Spike -- which lists Jason Doucett and Timothy Rostenbach as executive officers -- has raised $2,000, according to this filing. I've been unable to locate anything about the company or what they're building, though the filing lists the company in the "computers" category. Interestingly, Doucett and Rostenbach also appeared in this filing under the name Goriilla LLC. That Dec. 22 filing indicated that the company had raised $23,000.
Calidora Skin Clinics -- which operates skin care treatment centers in Washington state and California -- has raised $3.65 million in a series A round. The company is led by Colette Courtin, with the filing listing Denny Weston and Richard Baxter as directors.
Adaptive TCR of Seattle raised $3.9 million of a $5 million equity financing round, according to a SEC filing. A portion of the proceeds may be used for executive salaries. The company's executives include Chad Robins, Harlan Robins and Chris Carlson.
Knowledge Mosaic -- an 8-year-old Seattle security and compliance company -- is looking to raise $41,000. It is led by founder Peter Schwartz, who previously worked at Microsoft Encarta, FreeEdgar.com and Nimble Technology.
At Hand Gear -- a Bellevue company whose executives include Jaisimha Mysore and David Herbig-- raised $125,000 of a $500,000 round, according to a Dec. 22 filing. It is listed in the manufacturing category.
InVision Technology of Bellevue said in a filing that it has raised $181,186 of a $1.5 million equity financing round. The company -- listed in the manufacturing category -- is led by William Rodman.
Nextune, a Redmond company led by Michael Dukane, has raised $250,000 of a $500,000 debt round, according to this filing.
