Y Combinator Alum MemSQL Raises $2.1 Million From Ashton Kutcher, SV Angel And More

MemSQL may not have the sexiest name or, as a database management software startup, live in the sexiest industry, but that doesn't mean it isn't appealing to investors. The Y Combinator Winter 2011 grad is announcing today that it has raised $2.1 million in seed funding, led by an impressive list of angels and VCs. The stalwart list includes venture backing from First Rounds Capital, New Enterprise Associates, Start Fund, SV Angel, and Y Combinator -- as well as angel participation from celeb tech investor Ashton Kutcher, early Google employee and FriendFeed Co-founder Paul Bucheit, Loopt Founder Sam Altman, Guy Oseary, and several others.
