Same-day mobile shopping app SixDoors has been iterating on its idea of local product delivery since August, but only with the latest version released just weeks ago has the app really found its footing. Since the new release, SixDoors has doubled its user base, and now offers San Francisco residents a way to shop from their iPhone at over 60 local retailers and have their items delivered in as fast as 90 minutes.
The company has also now closed on $600,000 in seed funding from Kima Ventures, and other angel investors, some of whom had backed founder Pascal Levy-Garboua’s earlier efforts, including founder and CEO of Vente-Privee, Jacques-Antoine Granjon, and others.
Levy-Garboua, who created SixDoors with Thorsten Lubinski (CTO), previously co-founded virtual assistant service VirtuOz which was acquired by Nuance this January. He left the company in 2011, however, to help advise other startups. He sat on the board at Producteev (sold to Jive), for example, and helped get IQ Engines acquired by Yahoo for $30-something million.
