Prior to this, LimeRoad had raised around $5 million in Series A funding from Matrix Partners and LightSpeed Ventures in October 2012, when the site was launched. What they do: LimeRoad is a social e-commerce platform aimed at women. It lets users purchase, create and curate lifestyle products available on the site. The website has combined a shopping platform with social media, where users can communicate with each other. In other words, LimeRoad allows users to create a catalog - like a wishlist - from the available products on the website and categorize them into different looks. Once a user organizes a scrapbook, they have an option to purchase each product or the entire look.

LimeRoad works on a marketplace model and features some retail brands that are not available offline.
