Whisper Raises $3 Million in Funding Just Six Months After Last Round

Anonymous sharing apps like Whisper push back against hyper-focusing on the details of one's offline life in order to craft positive, public impressions online.

Recode reported yesterday that L.A.-based anonymous sharing app, Whisper, has raised another $3 million from venture capitalists, raising its post-money valuation to $200 million. Along with Whisper’s existing investors, China’s Tencent has joined leading investors Shasta Ventures and Thrive Capital in this round. The new funding comes on top of September’s round that raised $21 million (with a $76 million valuation).

San Francisco-based Secret has surpassed Whisper in popularity in Silicon Valley since its launch last month, reportedly raising around $10 million in a closely-followed Series A round with a $50 million valuation.
