Phoodeez, a Boston-based corporate catering concierge, announced today that it has secured $300,000 in funding from Project 11, a Boston-based venture capital fund.

"This is a vital moment in Phoodeez' growth and we are thrilled to receive backing from Project 11," said Christine Marcus, CEO of Phoodeez, in a company press release. "This empowers us to take on additional dynamic initiatives to grow our business line while reaching even more corporate consumers."
