Seattle-based online marketing startup Marketfish has raised $1.5 million in venture financing in a round led by Rustic Canyon and Accelerator Ventures, according to a report by TechFlash. As part of the deal, Rustic Canyon principal Neal Hansch will join the Marketfish board of directors, while Accelerator Ventures founder and managing partner Alex Lloyd will become a board observer. In August 2009 Marketfish raised an initial round of financing from the Alliance of Angels, which TechFlash reported at $2 million. The company then rolled out its beta release, which helps marketing agencies find and rent e-mail and direct mail lists of potential customers, the following month.
