Michael Dougherty, who co-founded Redfin and then spent time at Zillow.com, has raised $830,000 in startup cash for Fridge Door.
Given Dougherty's background at Redfin and Zillow, one might think that Fridge Door is trying something new in the online real estate arena.
But Dougherty -- who was trying to keep a low profile about his Seattle upstart -- said that's not the case.
"Two real estate startups is enough," said Dougherty, who didn't want to offer many details about the company until a new name is secured.
That moniker should be coming in a few weeks, with a full launch later this year. So what is Fridge Door up to?
Dougherty would only say that it is in the "personal communications space."
Fridge Door is backed by angel investors and Palomar Ventures, a southern California venture firm.
The other Fridge Door co-founders -- Logan Bowers, Sameer Rayachoti and Greg Whelan - also worked at Zillow.
