Decide.com's New Funding Goes Towards Expansion, Hiring

Seattle-based Decide.com, the online electronics price tracking service, has $8M more in its pocket, thanks to a funding round it announced last week--and now plans to use that funding for expansion and jobs. The startup told its users today that it is expanding into baby and kids, jewelry, toys and many more categories in the weeks to come, in a big expansion of its pricing tracking service. In addition, the startup said it is hiring "more technologists" and mobile developers with the funding, to improve and expand its products. The expansion will take the firm's algorithms and tracking software--which attempts to predict the best times to buy different products--into new areas.
