Shareaholic, a provider of a service for sharing content on the web, has raised $3 million in its first round of venture capital, according to a new filing with the SEC.

Founded in 2008, Shareaholic has quickly grown from a "nights and weekends" project to a fast-growing VC backed company that today is the leader in making content discovery & sharing on the web a simple, delightful and elegant experience for readers while providing powerful tools to content publishers to measure, analyze and improve the effectiveness of their content to drive even more visibility, traffic, leads and views.

Through web browser extensions, open platform APIs, and one of the largest and fastest growing networks of content publishers, Shareaholic reaches over 270 million people across every continent each month. Or put another way, if Shareaholic was a country, it'd be the 4th largest country in the world.
