Yik Yak secures $1.5 million in funding for expansion of social messaging platform

Social messaging app Yik Yak has received $1.5 million in additional funding for the expansion of its ‘hyper-local engagement’ platform, with funding from Vaizra Investments, DCM, Azure Capital Partners and others. The Yik Yak platform is an anonymous social experience, which allows users to connect to others based on location, with support for connections within a 1.5 mile radius.

Yik Yak allows users to send anonymous 200-character messages to virtual bulletin boards, in a style similar to Twitter.
