Snapchat, Tinder and Whisper get rattled off in the Los Angeles technology community as the area’s biggest app start-ups.
From there, it’s trickier deciding who else belongs. Now Flipagram is making a strong case that it does.
The video-sharing app company disclosed Thursday that it raised $70 million in funding a year ago from two of Silicon Valley’s most prominent venture-capital firms, Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Sequoia has invested in message-board app Whisper and Kleiner in entertainment app Snapchat.
Flipagram also announced that as of Thursday its tens of millions of users can access millions of songs to place as background music in their creations.
