Stealthy BigTip raises cash
BigTip, a stealth mode startup led by former RealNetworks and Yahoo employee Matt Rowlen, has raised $475,000 of a $600,000 round, according to a SEC filing today. The Kirkland company, which was founded last year, says it is trying to provide a fun way to bring merchants and consumers together.
"We are the only promotional vehicle for services that enables users with a real time solution for localized, last minute deals," the company writes on its Web site.
In addition to Rowlen, the company's executive team includes former Intelius chief technology officer Kevin Marcus, former InfoSpace executive Chris Matty and Jookster co-founder Kapenda Thomas.
