Spling is a content-sharing startup that emphasizes sharing links with friends rather than broadcasting to strangers. The site lets users share links publicly, privately, or externally via Facebook and Twitter while building an online archive of categorized, tagged content for later access. Spling argues its archive provides quicker access to a history of shares compared with posts on Twitter or Facebook. It offers symmetric, private Circles for selective link sharing, a feature the company claims to have launched before Google+. The company positions itself in the interest-graph space but focuses on friend-based link sharing. The founders—Billy McFarland (CEO), Nic Meiring (CFO), Mac Cordrey (COO), and Henry Clifford (CTO)—were 19 years old at the time of the round. Financially, Spling closed a $400,000 Series A led by Deep Fork Capital with participation from other angel investors.
