Seed Funding for Foodspotting Brings More Praise for AngelList

Food recommendation service Foodspotting announces today that it has closed a $750,000 round of seed funding led by Felicis Ventures, with participation from 500 Startups, High Line Venture Partners, Zelkova Ventures and 2020 Ventures. Today's announcement follows the launch of an updated website, a new iPhone app, and media partnerships with Travel Channel and Zagat.

Foodspotting allows users to find and share food recommendations using photos. "Foodspotting is not just for foodies," says CEO Alexa Andrzejewski, who notes that location-based services like Foodspotting and Foursquare are demonstrating the importance of sharing tips and recommendations when choosing restaurants and bars. People seek practical information and guidance, and the mobile experience offered by the Foodspotting iPhone app offers just that - with the added benefit, of course, of taking and looking at photos of some amazing meals.
