The popular hospitality exchange Couchsurfing recently incorporated as a B corporation as well (they were a non-profit before.)

They raised ~$8million from Benchmark and Omidyar. It's pretty interesting that Benchmark Capital invested in a corporation that "is dedicated to creating public benefit." Not at all surprising to get it from Omidyar, of course.

Will be interesting to see how they monetize
