Pinterest is in talks to raise another round of funding, this time at a $2-$2.5 billion valuation, Pui-Wing Tam and Spencer Ante of the Wall Street Journal report.
The fund-raising appears to be in the very early stages. Tam and Ante don't say how much money Pinterest is looking to raise. Pinterest just raised $100 million at a $1.5 billion valuation in May of 2012.
Pinterest is a digital, social scrapbook. You "Pin" stories and images from around the web to Pinterest. The site has seen its unique visitors nearly quadruple in the last year, according to comScore data.
