White label social networking service KickApps has raised more than $13 million in a third round funding, peHub reported, citing a regulatory filing. Previous investors Prism VentureWorks, Softbank Capital and Spark Capital participated in the funding, and peHub speculates that an undisclosed investor led the round. KickApps has raised a total of $30 million since its launch in 2006, and competes with other social media platforms like CrowdVine and Ning (a behemoth that has raised more than $100 million over four rounds). A number of companies (including AOL) had been interested in acquiring KickApps over the summer, but the company seemingly has enough money to do fine on its own now.
