Coupa has raised a healthy $7.5 Million in Series C round of funding, which came from El Dorado Ventures, Battery Ventures and BlueRun Ventures. Coupa provides software suite based on Ruby on Rails enabling firms to keep the much needed control on the costs. This is done continually checking supplies, purchases, etc and finding the best possible ways to spend the budget on. The concept behind the startup is pretty innovative and helpful and apart from assisting firms make decisions on purchases, etc it also helps with better smoothing the communication between employees, in short the startup helps employees and execs to better collaborate with each other.

ShowClix raised its first of funding worth $570,000 of the expected $850,000 it needs to raise. The funding came from Pittsburgh Equity Partners and the startup hasn’t really confirmed the exact amount it has raised or plans to in the existing round. ShowClix has been trying hard to make it big by challenging the dominance of Ticketmaster in online ticketing industry and has even spend a lot of cash to pursue people into making them select its own platform instead of Ticketmaster.

Social Gold micropayment platform creator, Jambool has raised $5 Million in a new round of funding. The round was led by Madrona Venture Group along with participation from Bay Partners. The startup initiated as developer for games for the social networks but moved over to micropayments as the market has been charged up by Playfish and Zynga. I guess the move is pretty intelligent given that there is a dearth of such platforms in a market where gamers continue to create games for the social networks.
