Things were interesting on the funding front in Silicon Valley this week! The online retailer Nasty Gal landed an eight-figure investment led by Apple’s former retail chief, and the desiccated carcass of the TV streaming service Aereo sold for around $2 million. Here’s all that went down:

- The real estate startup Opendoor closed a $20 million Series B round led by GGV capital. This brings the company’s total funding to $30 million (Wall Street Journal).
- The Canadian enterprise technology company SecureKey raised $19 million in a Series C funding round. The lead investors were Blue Sky Capital and Rogers Venture Partners (Reuters).
