Wishpot raises $1,000,000

Wishpot, the popular online social shopping community, announced the closing of a $1 million Series A investment round.  Founded in 2007, Wishpot has developed a hosted solution for tracking personal wish list entries across any website on the internet. The free product, which is currently in beta, has already become a popular web site for social shopping.  The Wishpot platform hosts a range of popular consumer needs, including registries for weddings, baby announcements, birthdays, and holidays. A user can add an item to a registry with a single click, similar to the way a user can “Digg” an article discovered on the Internet. Once a product has been added to a personal Wishpot, the user can also access Wishpot’s powerful features for comparison shopping, to solicit feedback, and get recommendations from a personal social shopping network.
