According to the Boston Herald, HourlyNerd, a company that connects MBA students and alumni to companies that need temporary or occasional help, has raised an undisclosed Series A round of financing. Highland Capital Partners and Greylock Partners participated in the round.

HourlyNerd is a marketplace that connects MBAs (both current students and alums) with businesses seeking help on projects in Marketing, Finance, Strategy, Operations, Business Planning, Presentation Creation and more. The concept is pretty simple - MBAs have spare time, business acumen and need money, while small business owners are strapped for time and need business advice. We're here to match the two sides.
