Readmill is a Berlin, Germany-based social and shareable reading platform for ebooks. Its core product lets users highlight parts of an ebook, share those highlights with friends and start discussions around them. The company launched two cloud-based features: Library, which lets users upload ebooks to the cloud and link them to Readmill for iPad, and Send to Readmill, a button that transfers purchased ebooks into an account. Readmill announced partnerships with independent stores including Leanpub, Readlists, Free-ebooks.net, Jottify, OR Books, Publit, and Bibliocrunch. The company raised an undisclosed Series A from Wellington Partners and intends to use the funding to support the launch and pursue its 2012 roadmap of features and further releases. Led by CEO Henrik Berggren, Readmill is currently hiring. ReadMill is a young, Berlin-based startup that had not launched publicly before its appearance at TechCrunch Disrupt. At Disrupt, YCombinator founder Paul Graham pressed the team to launch immediately. Following that session, ReadMill opened up access and began offering invites. The company announced seed investment totaling €280,000. Investors named in the round are Index Seed and Passion Capital. No operating metrics, past rounds, or founding year are mentioned in the article.
