Napster founder Shawn Fanning lands $200K for another mysterious startup, Supyo

Napster founder Shawn Fanning (pictured right) apparently has another secret startup in the works. An SEC filing reveals that Fanning, along with Voxi founder Joey Liaw, has landed $200,000 in funding for a company called Supyo, TechCrunch reports.

According to a secretary TechCrunch reached through a phone number listed on the filing, Supyo doesn’t have anything to do with Fanning’s Path startup, and it’s definitely a holding company for a future project.

Prior to Path — which former Facebook employee Dave Morin is also involved with — Fanning founded the gaming startup Rupture, which he sold to Electronic Arts in 2008. He’s also assisting the video chat site Chatroulette in an uncompensated capacity.
