Today’s funding announcements include services for ordering food, buying gifts and getting advice from doctors:
GoLocal grabs $2M for personalized gifts: GoLocal, parent company of San Francisco-based gift site Giftly, has raised a first round of funding, according to a filing with the SEC. Founded by the first employee at social search engine Aardvark, the site lets users deliver gift cards for any store or stores through email or Facebook. Rather than redeeming a physical gift card at the store, recipients pay as usual, then get a refund from Giftly after using the card.
Doximity gets $10.8M to connect doctors via mobile: The developer of a communications platform for physicians has raised a first round of funding from Emergence Capital Partners and InterWest Partners. The San Mateo, Calif.-based company, started by the founders of health software maker Epocrates, allows doctors to quickly collaborate using mobile devices for patient referrals. More than 7,000 doctors are currently using the company’s free mobile app.
