FROM THE COMPANY BLOG:
"We're also excited to announce that last month we raised a $4M Series A led by FirstMark Capital (Amish Jani), with participation from Lerer Ventures, AOL Ventures and Advancit Capital. In fact, this is our second institutional round: last September, we raised a $750K seed round from FLOODGATE, IA Ventures and Naval Ravikant. All our existing investors participated in our Series A as well. We never announced the original seed round because I think funding announcements are akin to celebrating at the starting line of a marathon. Instead, what we're announcing today is something bigger - backed by an incredible team of 25 passionate colleagues, 10 investors, 700+ content partners and thousands of journalists, we're changing the way we connect audiences with high quality journalism."
