Digital Photo Printing Startup, Canvera raises funds from DFJ, Footprint and Mumbai Angels

Canvera, Bangalore based digital photo printing startup has raised fund from DFJ, Footprint and Mumbai Angels.

Founded by two IIT B grads (I know one of the founders, Peeyush Rai quite well), Canvera’s USP is high quality customized products that can be delivered in 24-48 hours.

Canvera is targeting the professional photographers segment, and has also launched their desktop app – which, I believe is only for pro account members.

From what I know about the company, they are planning to leverage the mom-and-pop/retail store for delivery of photo prints (this isn’t confirmed) and is focusing on the booming wedding services and events market.

Photo printing is surely a crowded market, but Canvera unlike others is highly focused on professional photographers – and that seems a good strategy.

Other companies in this market: Picsquare, HP’s snapfish, Printo, iTasveer, GKVale
