Zyrra Wraps Up $445K

Boston-based Zyrra, a provider of CAD-based technology for developing custom-fit bras, has raised $445,000 of a potential $1 million equity round, from 17 investors, according to an SEC filing. We first caught wind of the Zyrra seed funding, which includes Golden Seeds investors Jess McLear and Jean Hammond, when we profiled the company last month. Zyrra was also awarded $50,000 from business plan competition and accelerator program MassChallenge last month.
