Austin startup Aunt Bertha scores $5 million from Techstars Ventures [512Tech.com]

Austin startup Aunt Bertha has landed $5 million to continue building out its database of social services.

The company's website lets people find and apply for social services across the United States. That means people in need, case managers and social workers can access government and charitable services by topic and zip code in seconds.

The basic service, which is free, provides information including the location, hours and reviews of the services, as well as tools to connect with the social services provider.

Aunt Bertha also sells an enterprise version for companies, such as employers of case managers or social workers.

The company began indexing health and human service programs when it was founded in 2010 by Erine Gray, who studied economics and computer science as an undergraduate and has a master's degree from the LBJ School of Public Affairs.
