A stealth startup called Flipboard has raised funding from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, VentureBeat reported, citing multiple sources.
What is Flipboard? VentureBeat’s not sure. But it must be an exciting concept or team, if a brand-name firm like Kleiner is willing to back it prelaunch.
There’s nothing public at flipboard.com, and the Flipboard Twitter account has a single, not particularly revealing tweet. But whatever Flipboard is, it looks like the app or site posts messages to Twitter, judging from a couple examples floating around online.
It may also be relevant that when announcing the expansion of Kleiner’s iFund for iPhone and iPad apps, partner John Doerr said the iFund has two stealth iPad companies that were about to debut.
