ClubLocal Completes $10.7M Funding

club-local-newbClubLocal, an Encino, CA-based platform to book and buy household services, completed a $10.7m round of funding.

The round was led by Groupon, Inc., with participation from a group of individual investors, and two of the original founders of ReachLocal, Inc. It consisted of an initial $7.5m investment with an option for Groupon to contribute an additional $3.2m within the next twelve months.
The transaction is part of the transfer of the ClubLocal business by ReachLocal to a new entity in exchange for a minority interest. It will now be wholly owned by Serviz, Inc. and Zorik Gordon, the former founder and CEO of ReachLocal, Inc., and Michael Kline, the former founder and President Local Commerce of ReachLocal, Inc. will serve as the company’s CEO and President, respectively.
