Bodega Brings In $2.5 Million

Ecommerce startup Bodega completed $2.5 million in financing, led by First Round Capital. Homebrew Ventures also participated.

Bodega’s goal is to be the world’s first virtual goods marketplace, bridging the gap between diverse social networks and creating a synthesized virtual community of buyers and sellers. It plans fully to integrate into social networks, delivering the market directly to users and allowing for cross-platform exchanges.

The company launched its Facebook application in October, 2009, when more than 24,000 users signed up in less than 30 days. With engineering underway for MySpace, iPhone, Bebo, and OpenSocial applications, Bodega is quickly becoming a premier virtual goods marketplace.
