dbTwang – the web’s favourite community for those who share a passion for guitars – has just closed its seed round, and also welcomes the participation of Colm Lyon (of Realex Payments) in the round.
This brings to 200k the seed round in dbTwang.
The Irish Times has more information, as well as the founders blog.
Congratulation to Keith and team.

Whilst the funding environment is very very tough right now, we are still seeing glimmers of light in the gloom.
The latest is dbTwang, a site for guitar owners, which closed its Angel round yesterday. Keith Bohanna and co-founder Fintan Blake-Kelly worked for many months with new director Gerry McQuaid (ex-O2) to raise the funds.
They are using Contrast for the design of dbTwang and Lunar Logic in Krakow for the development, aiming for early closed beta around the 3rd week of February.
