MooBella Laps Up $9M

MooBella, a Taunton, MA-based provider of make-your-own ice cream machines, has scooped up $9 million in equity-based funding, from one investor, according to an SEC filing. Last year the company brought in $18 million from Inventages Venture Capital, shortly after revamping its technology to better scale at a number of locations throughout New England. Its newest funding round could hit $9.4 million, according to the filing.
