With no further ado, here’s today’s funding news.

Food delivery startup Foodpanda raises $60M

Foodpanda is part of a growing list of food delivery startups that have been gaining attention over the last year. The startup itself operates similarly to GrubHub in the sense that users can browse a list of restaurant delivery options within their specific city. To help you decide where to eat, Foodpanda offers restaurant ratings, estimated delivery times, fees, an online menu, and more. The service is nice for customers but also helps food vendors extend their business and distribution beyond a brick-and-mortar store.The company will use the additional capital to continue its global expansion.

Fiverr’s $30M funding shows that the TaskRabbit model is growing

Fiverr’s online marketplace enables people to either post tasks or jobs they’re available to do and for what price, taking its name from the original $5 gigs postings until it upped the maximum price to $500 last summer. The listings on Fiverr are usually in creative areas such as writing thank you notes or painting someone’s portrait, and most of them are things people can handle remotely. Fiverr lets the freelancers set their own price when posting their jobs.
