Wantful is a gift-giving service that curates and sells gifts through its platform. The company was founded in 2011 by designer and serial entrepreneur John Poisson, who serves as CEO, and operates out of San Francisco and New York City. It intends to use new capital to accelerate product development, strengthen marketing efforts and expand its product offering. Planned product moves include introducing an Outdoor category focused on heritage brands and increasing gift offerings for men; the company will add more than 650 new products this month. Wantful also expects to make key hires in its San Francisco and New York City offices to grow engineering, merchandising and operations teams. The company raised $5.5M in a Series A to fund these initiatives.
