Retrevo calls itself a "matchmaking service," although it's not another place for dating. Rather, the site allows consumers to deal with something that is perhaps tougher than dating – trying to understand consumer electronics products.
As a sign of Retrevo's opportunity, the company has raised $8 million. The investors include Alloy Ventures and Norwest Venture Partners (NVP).
