At last night's Google-sponsored Bay Area Girl Geek Dinner, Pownce cofounder Leah Culver told EPICENTER that her Twitter-meets-file sharing startup finally raised a round of outside funding after being self-funded and bootstrapped since its summer launch. Culver didn't reveal the amount raised, but she noted that the round was
"small" yet "enough to hire another developer" to assist her -- Culver had been the sole developer on Pownce since it was founded. Investors include prolific angel Ron Conway and Mike Maples of Maples Investment. Pownce's other cofounders include Daniel Burka, Shawn Allen, and Digg.com cofounder Kevin Rose.
