Web-based email service Bubbles has picked up $100,000 from angel investors, including Arvind Jha, a former director of engineering at Adobe, for its mission to solve the email problem with handwritten notes.
Though still in beta, Bubbles has attracted 40,000 users. The service provides a Web view of a virtual piece of paper that users can doodle on or add images to and then send as a PDF email attachment. The angel funding will be used to continue development and marketing of the product.
Founder Arvind Nigam says part of his inspiration to build Bubbles was Y Combinator founder Paul Graham’sFrighteningly Ambitious Startup Ideas, which specifically mentions replacing email with a new protocol.
