Lehman Brothers led the round, and was joined by return backers Sequoia Capital and DAG Ventures. It has now raised $31 million in total, with other shareholders including actor Will Ferrell.
Searchme has been incubating at Sequoia for around three years, and is run by former AuctionDrop CEO Randy Adams. The company is currently in private beta.
