Rabbl launched in late 2012 with a focus on concert crowdfunding. They got a wave of publicity in fall 2013 due to a NY Times article but we haven't heard much since then. Apparently they're doing something right and have now raised $775K in seed funding including a $340K investment from FG Angels Syndicate. The funding will support further development of the platform and marketing to artists.

[Rabble](http://www.rabbl.com/?ref=hypebot.com) got some attention [back in the fall](https://www.hypebot.com/new-diy-services-rabbl-for-concert-crowdfunding-loudr-for-cover-song-licensing-and-d2f-sales/) but seem to have focused on developing the product and connecting directly with artists. Now they're expanding both those core activities with [$775k in seed funding](http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/rabbl-raises-775k-in-seed-funding-253544941.html?ref=hypebot.com) led by [FG Angels](http://www.foundrygroup.com/wp/2014/03/fg-angels-invests-in-rabbl/?ref=hypebot.com).

According to CEO and co-founder Wade Lagrone:

[![Rabbl](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201a51195c098970c-200wi "Rabbl")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201a51195c098970c-popup?ref=hypebot.com)

"We've been really pleased to see the reception that artists of all sorts have given RABBL…And it's a great vote of confidence that investors, too, see the same opportunity we do. So far, RABBL is proving to be a very versatile tool for breaking acts, reducing risk, and engaging fans. We expect big things in 2014 and have a lot in the works already, on our way to making social booking a huge new part of the live music business."

Though you can't really tell how they're doing from the site, the [official announcement](http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/rabbl-raises-775k-in-seed-funding-253544941.html?ref=hypebot.com) claims "over 700 artists and 12 venues on the RABBL platform." However they only show a short list of successfully funded shows on the site itself.

I'd expect to see more coverage soon. Rabbl might consider contacting bloggers directly. There should be a lot of interest in what they're doing if they establish better channels of communications beyond corporate PR outlets like PRNewswire.
