Angie’s List, which offers consumer-focused information and reviews of businesses online, this morning announced that it has closed on $2.5 million in additional financing from its most recent round, which came from multiple institutional investors and totaled $22.5 million.

The additional capital infusion comes from San Francisco-based Saints Capital.
