Central PA Startups Secure Investments from Ben Franklin Technology Partners

Harrisburg, PA, May 10, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Two Central Pennsylvania startups were among six companies to receive investments from Ben Franklin Technology Partners, an early-stage investor backed by the state.

Noodigs has created an online platform for use by people who want to sell their own homes. The platform helps schedule showings and open houses, creates listings, sends out professional photographers to take pictures of a home, and provides information needed to close a sale.

The company charges a 1.5 percent fee of the sale price of a home.

The Harrisburg company offers their product Dashboard OSM, a cloud-based online sales dashboard that, for a monthly fee, consolidates a variety of sales functions for business owners.
