WHO’S GETTING FUNDED?

First Round Capital led a $5.9 million series A round for Upstart, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based funding platform for backing people, TechCrunch reported. The firm previously invested in a seed round for Upstart.

Center City-based TicketLeap raised $675,000, according to an SEC filing.

InDimension3, a 3D printer manufacturer that lists Berwyn as its SEC filing address, raised $2.4 million, according to an SEC filing. InDimension3 appears to be a Julip Run Capital portfolio company, as they share the same address and many of the same board members. The company demoed at the March Philly Tech Meetup.
