Sōsh Raises $10.1M in Series B Financing

Sōsh, a San Francisco, CA-based site that helps people discover things to do in their local area, raised $10.1m in Series B financing.

The round was led by Khosla Ventures, with participation from prior investors Battery Ventures, Mike Krieger, co-founder of Instagram, and Don Graham, former CEO of the Washington Post. In conjunction with the funding, Khosla’s Keith Rabois joined Sōsh’s Board of Directors.

The company intends to use the funds to expand to additional cities (it has just launched Sōsh NYC), its product plans, and introduce a marketplace for local activities.

Led by Rishi Mandal, co-founder and CEO, Sōsh structures and aggregates massive amounts of data about the offline world about things to do, the weather, etc., and match that data against a user’s interests, preferred neighborhoods, current location, friends’ preferences, to generate recommendations.
