Pearltrees Announces $6.7m Funding Says It Will Start Charging For Premium Services -SVW

Posted by Tom Foremski - February 15, 2012 Congratulations to Pearltrees, (a former client) on raising 5 million Euros, about $6.7 million in Series B funding. The Paris-based company offers a web service that groups users' selected web pages into collections of "pearls" - visual metaphors that can be shared and collected online by others. Here are more details from Pearltrees on the funding and its "freemium" plan, which will start charging some of its users for premium services. The Group Accueil, a privately held, diversified corporation that had invested previously, led the round. The new capital will allow the company to scale the product and monetize the service.
