Poggled, a Chicago-based daily deals site that focuses only on and club discounts, has just raised $5.6 million according to an SEC form filed today. Well what's interesting about this? As Fortune's Dan Primack points out that Groupon investors and co-founders Eric Lefkofsky and Brad Keywell and New Enterprise Associates principal Tom Grossi are listed on the SEC form. Lefkofsky and Keywell, who now run investment firm�Lightbank,�were involved in Groupon's seed round and NEA backed the service in a $4.8 million Series A back when it was called The Point. That $4.8 million seems like pocket change when you consider that Groupon just raised $950 million and is said to be valued at $25 billion.
