Frapperz: On-demand home service startup Frapperz is all set to raise additional funding of $400K (Rs 2.57 Crore) from their existing investors. The funding round is led by the co-founders, and Australian healthcare entrepreneur Shiva Gunapu. The funding round will be participated by Hyderabad-based HNI Sirish Tarumani, who’s also been an existing investor of the startup.

The new funding comes within a month when the Frapperz has raised $100 K of seed funding from the investors.

The fresh funds will come within the next 3-6 months. Frapperz will use the funds for strengthening the technology background and for the expansion of their operations.

The husband-wife duo founder, Jyotirmay Kanthal and Rimjhim Ray said: “We plan to go for the next round of fundraising only after the startup has improved its revenue earnings over the next 12 months. We, however, do not plan to dilute our stake beyond 80% from our existing 90% holding.”
