Application builder Coghead in acquisition talks
Coghead, a startup that allows users to create web applications using simple forms, is trying to sell itself to an unidentified buyer, according to VentureWire. The Redwood City, Calif. company is looking to be acquired after failing to raise a third round of venture backing; it last raised $8 million from American Capital Strategies, SAP Ventures and El Dorado Ventures in 2007.
