Online Merchant Lender Kabbage Raises Another $12 Million

Atlanta-based startup Kabbage, which provides working capital to online merchants, has closed $12 million in debt financing from Western Technology Investment. In August, Kabbage raised $17 million from BlueRun Ventures, David Bonderman, founder of TPG Capital; Warren Stephens, CEO of Stephens; the UPS Strategic Enterprise Fund, Jim McKelvey, co-founder of Square; and others. Kabbage, which was founded by Marc Gorlin, Rob Frohwein and Kathryn Petralia, is essentially a way for online merchants and sellers on marketplaces like eBay and Amazon to get capital they otherwise wouldn't qualify for at a bank. Kabbage uses technology to analyze online merchants' sales and credit history; customer traffic and reviews; and prices and inventory compared to competitors. And merchants can proactively add information to their Kabbage account to immediately increase their access to capital.
