Kapost Raises $1.1 Million To Help Publishers Manage An Army Of Contributors

Earlier this year we wrote about Grogger, a CMS that would allow blogs to crowdsource their content. That product didn't work out ? publishers didn't want to have to change to a new CMS ? but the company has now pivoted to tackle a related problem, and it's got a new name: Kapost. Today the company is announcing that it's closed a $1.1 million Series A round led by High Country Venture and Highway 12 Venture, with Zelkova Ventures, Kal Vepuri, Tango, David Tisch, Jason Kiefer, and David Cohen participating (the company was also a part of the TechStars Boulder program).

So what exactly is Kapost? CEO Toby Murdock describes it as a newsroom platform that publishers can use to manage content submitted by a large number of contributors.
