Recent Tech Funding: Uber $1.6B, Raise Gift Cards $56M, Shazam $30M, Chime $8M, and RadPad $2M

After moving to the Bay Area, home of the tech startup, I learned about a website called Crunch Base, which is a big database full of information regarding some of the my favorite companies.  You can find information about pretty much any tech company, big or small, new or old, all in one place.  I received an email from them this morning about some recent funding (debt financing, venture funding, etc.) and thought it would be fun to share.

If you want to learn more about the following companies, check out their Crunch Base pages:

Good morning everyone, here are 7 new AMEX Offers that showed up in my American Express account last night.  The first is a great deal at Hilton Hotels and Resorts.  Spend $250 or more and receive a $50 statement credit.  If this offer works similar to the Marriott AMEX Offer and the Courtyard AMEX Offer, you should be able to go to a Hilton Hotel and buy a $250 gift card and receive the statement credit on your purchase.  I have not tested this personally, but if anyone does, please let me know in the comments below.
