Etouches Grabs $2.5M

Etouches, a Ridgefield, CT-based maker of event management software, announced it has raised $2.5 million in an initial round of venture capital funding, led by Greycroft Partners. The company launched in 1988 in the meeting planning industry, but has evolved into a software-as-a-service business. Connecticut Innovations and Cava Capital also participated in the financing, which will go to product development and sales efforts.
