WedPics, A Social Weddings Platform For Web & Mobile, Raises $1.5 Million Series A | TechCrunch
Summary
The company, an online and mobile platform that allows couples, the wedding party, and guests to share photos before, during and after the big day, now has $1 .5 million in Series A financing, led by local investor IDEA Fund Partners. The company originally spun out of the team’s prior efforts with a collaborative photo-sharing app for events called Deja Mi back in early 2011. WedPics changed that with its iOS, Android and online platforms, which allow everyone participating in the wedding preparations and attending the event and reception to easily share their photos with the couple tying the knot and the other guests. Having now completed its first full wedding season over the course of 2013, the company is planning to build out its product to support this use case and others that could make WedPics feel more like a social network, rather than just a photo-sharing utility. With the additional funding, the company plans to make a couple of hires in terms of developers and marketing positions to flesh out its current team of 15, which also includes the WedPics other co-founders, Idan Koren and Andy Heymann.
