Increo Solutions has launched Backboard, a site that allows users to easily leave feedback on a variety of documents and images. Backboard is aimed at product managers, marketing teams, and designers who could benefit from the simple feedback system that the site offers.

Backboard looks very nice, but a quick glance shows that it might be too simple. There doesn’t seem to be much going on each page – just the document in question with some comments beneath it. Then again, this barebones system might appeal to users in a hurry. The site has support for Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, and a number of image formats, along with standard URLs.

In conjunction with the launch, Increo has announced that it has closed a seed funding round with Draper Fisher Jurvetson. The company was founded in 2007 by three Stanford students.
