Blist has secured $6.5 million Series A investment from Frazier Technology Ventures and Morgenthaler Ventures. Blist will use the additional funding to accelerate the development and marketing of its new online social database service that allies the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the power of a fully featured relational database.
Unlike traditional databases and spreadsheets, Blist provides everyday mainstream users with a strikingly intuitive and flexible way to design simple or sophisticated databases that meet their specific needs without requiring users to have experience with programming or databases. Using Blist, mainstream users can structure and catalogue all types of information and then create communities around the data they share. Blist is an ideal solution for creating anything from party or wedding guest lists, fantasy football statistics, and personal finances to professional information such as sales contacts, project milestones, campaign tracking, status reports, and more.
