Tech Cocktail, a media company that covers news and organizes events for entrepreneurs, has raised $2.5 million in funding from an initiative led by Zappos.com Chief Executive Tony Hsieh.

Over the next year, Tech Cocktail will focus on deepening the coverage, exposure, and resources we currently provide to new startups and startup regions all across the United States and the world. And following in the footsteps of our past conferences and festivals (e.g. Startup Mixology, DCWEEK) we'll soon be announcing an exciting new national platform for startups and their regions around the country - sign up for details here.

At Tech Cocktail, our mission is to help entrepreneurs navigate and enjoy the startup journey by providing resources, connections, and community. We've written thousands of articles covering startups from across the globe and seen over 30,000 people come to our events in the last year alone. We've done this as a bootstrapped company since 2006.
