Earth Class Mail Raises $13.3M First Round And Gets Its Own Reality Show

We have been boosters of Earth Class Mail and we are not surprised to see that investors are too. The Seattle-based startup has just closed a $13.3M Series A round led by Ignition Partners. Angel groups contributed about half the round. Earth Class Mail previously broke the record as the startup that has raised the most cash from the the Keiretsu Forum.

We also think its cool that Earth Class Mail will be the subject of a reality TV show called "Start-up Junkies" on MOJO HD (a channel that we get1). The show is scheduled to begin Thursday night, January 24 at 10 pm.

What's neat about Earth Class Mail is that it allows you to get rid of your mail box and its junk mail. This is particularly useful for road warriors or people with two homes who don't want to miss valuable snail mail. Users can choose to have the mail shredded, forwarded to a physical address or opened and viewed electronically in a PDF format. Rates start at $10 per month.
