Mashers: Is Tumblr Funded?

Tumblr, the micro-blogging service that we mentioned today, is headed for a relaunch on November 1. But has it also been funded? You tell us.

An unsubstantiated rumor from the Mashable mailbox says that New York-based Davidville, the company behind Tumblr, may have taken money recently. The supposed source of that funding, Twitter investor Union Square Ventures, is a bit of a head scratcher, however. USV is New York-based, and Fred Wilson is a fan...but would they invest in both? Possibly not.
