According to Crunchbase, "ZitSticka is an evidence-based skin care brand focused squarely on acne treatments that target every unique stage of a zit's life cycle. ZitSticka's debut product, the KILLA patch, contains dermatologically backed ingredients and is layered with self-dissolving microdarts that disrupt the progression of upcoming, early-stage zits."
The company also raised a seed round in 2018.
Meanwhile, catering company Junzi Kitchen raised $5 million in seed funding, announced on Nov. 4. The round's investors were led by LDR Ventures.
From the company's Crunchbase profile: "Founded in 2015, Junzi grew out of a hunger for our childhood staples: northern Chinese food made with healthy, seasonal ingredients. Yet, recreating the taste of home has done much more than sate our cravings — the amazing power of food in building community has inspired us to make our bings and noodles accessible to all."
Junzi Kitchen last raised $1.8 million in seed funding in 2018.
