Curious Office participates in Bonanzle’s $1M round from Seattle VCs
Curious Office invests in Bonanzle!
I’m really happy to be writing about today’s news. Bonanzle is a 2-year-old company founded by Bill Harding which has created a fast-growing (and profitable) marketplace where small merchants can sell everything from purses and antiques to jewelry and collectibles. “Rather than building around the largest so-called ‘power sellers,’ we’ve created a marketplace that caters to smaller merchants who are passionate about a few, carefully selected items.”
Think of this as Etsy except the focus isn’t so much on handmade goods but rather one of a kind, specialty items. Think flea market where the focus isn’t on who sells more items. No, this isn’t about “Power Sellers”. In fact, its for everyone else. It is a community that is much more like a “marketplace” in the traditional sense. That is, a lot of small sellers with interesting wares, thoughtful antiques and rare collectibles.
Why we like Bonanzle:
1) Smart cash management
They bootstrapped the startup, growing it into an up-and-coming force in e-commerce with 250,000 registered users and nearly two million unique visitors a month before raising this larger round of financing.
2) Bill Harding
I had met Bill well before this funding. Bill Harding is a rare individual who is both business savvy AND technical. He has been the hands on developer, CTO and CEO for two years. He doesn’t pontificate a lot. He just gets on with it.
3) Traffic
The site has a rabid support base. Traffic is high and stays high because the vendors feel connected to the marketplace. Sellers and buyers represent a demographic that values communication and relationships.
4) Large, known market
We all grew up understanding the concept of a garage sale and a flea market and an estate sale. Grandmother’s china and silver flatware? That stuff if valuable and in every home. Selling it on Etsy makes no sense. Selling it on eBay next to the automotive parts and electronics section somehow devalues the transaction and the interestingness of these kinds of items. Simply put, there is a place in the market for a site like this.
5) Clear roadmap
The site has tons of traffic but a lot of very obvious ways to improve. Now that they have cash, its just a matter of doing many of the things that have been on Bill’s list for a long time.
6) Great supporters
I know nearly all the investors in this round. And, I truly believe that these individuals will add far more value to this company than one might ordinarily experience in any other funding event. Geoff Entress, Andy Liu, Ben Elowitz, Andy Sack and others. These guys all GET IT. They have a long history of success. They have been in the trenches. They keep coming up winners. Bill is going to get incredibly valuable feedback from his investors and the company will be all the better for it.
We’re proud of Bill and the Bonanzle team and appreciate Geoff Entress for driving this funding to its successful conclusion.

CEO INTERVIEW: CHRIS RODDE OF ALLSENIORHOMES
1) Tell us about Chris Rodde. How did you come to start AllSeniorHomes?
I grew up in the Bay Area in a family of entrepreneurs—my grandfather was a builder and my dad, a real estate developer—so my passion has always been to start something on my own. I started a dot-com in 1999 but quickly realized that I knew nothing about starting a tech company. So I decided to get some experience and joined Microsoft. Microsoft moved my wife and me to Seattle about 8 years ago. I expected to stay at Microsoft only 3 years but kept learning and finding new, interesting projects. In 2006, I knew it was time to get back to the startup world or I might never get off the corporate sofa.
So I went to All Star Directories, a late stage Seattle startup which does lead generation in the Education market. This is where I met my business partner, Jay Goldstein. We saw how well the online lead generation model worked and talked about starting something together. Our first idea was to create an analyst firm in the lead generation space because there is a total lack of data about lead generation (market sizing, pricing, market shares, etc–somebody should do this!). We didn’t get far with this idea, but instead started looking at different industries where we could do lead generation. We settled on senior care because we saw a growing opportunity and similarities to the education market.
2) In a nutshell, how do you describe AllSeniorHomes?
AllSeniorHomes is a site to help people that are looking for senior housing or senior care (assisted living, nursing homes, retirement communities, etc). People caring for their parents (let’s call them “caregivers”) are often thrown into the role suddenly when there is a health problem or when they go home for Thanksgiving and realize that mom or dad can really no longer take care of themselves. These caregivers are faced with a lot of big decisions. We offer a great resource to help people through these decisions by providing informative, well-written content and a directory of assisted living facilities, nursing homes, alzheimer’s care communities, and retirement. communities We connect families with senior care communities. Communities pay us for qualified leads.
3) Who are your big competitors and what value proposition sets you apart?
Incidentally, there are a few competitors right here in Seattle such as A Place For Mom. A Place For Mom’s model is quite different from ours, however. They operate a network of elder care advisors to find a community and get paid a referral fee when the senior moves into a community (a “move-in”). We believe that we can deliver much better value to communities by charging for leads (rather than move-ins) and allowing the communities to take responsibility for doing the 1-on-1 sales with the end consumer. So for communities, our value proposition is about providing a more economical source of customers.
For consumers, it’s impossible to find great resources. Despite Google’s best efforts, there are so many bad websites out there that get in the way of finding the few good ones. We don’t see many sites out there that are making the same kind of investment in great content and user experience—we think these things will really matter in the long run and set us apart. A good example of this is our Seattle Assisted Living
4) What do you like most about your job?
All of it… The wearing of many hats… The highs and lows… Creating something from scratch… The great thing about starting a company is that you are completely responsible for success or failure. It’s an emotional roller coaster—last Friday, Jay and I were feeling dejected because of a few meetings we’d had—earlier this week, we were flying high as we discovered some great results in our business. The successes are completely because of your efforts and so the feeling of accomplishment is complete. I also have a great sense of satisfaction when we hear positive things from consumers and our senior care customers—it feels like we are making a difference for people.
5) What bit of trivia would someone not know about Chris Rodde?
I grew up in the same house that my father did and graduated from the same high school 30 years later.
CEO Interview: Aaron LaBerge of Coolspotters (Fanzter)
I’m excited to share this interview with Aaron LaBerge of Coolspotters fame. We here at Curious Office invested in Coolspotters alongside Second Avenue Partners, Rich Barton of Zillow & Expedia fame and others. Aaron is a forward thinking technologist that knows what kind of experiences entice consumers. The quality of their execution is second to none and they are a great prototype for any start-up entrepreneurs wanting to learn how to go from concept to world class product.
1) Tell us about Aaron LaBerge. How did you come to start Fanzter?
I am originally from Charleston, SC and graduated from the University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks!) with a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering. After school, I worked at a small Internet startup in Columbia, SC that was building database driven websites (before there were database driven websites). From there I moved to Seattle to work for an upstart software company named Starwave, where I was part of the team that helped launch ESPN.com. Disney eventually bought Starwave, through a series of mid-90’s acquisition acrobatics, and I ended up spending the next ten years working for ESPN, where I was lucky enough to work on some of the most visited and loved web properties in the world.
When I met my co-founder, Eric Kirsten, we were both thinking about what was next in our professional lives. We started brainstorming ideas and quickly realized that we wanted to start a company together. Fanzter was started as consumer-focused technology company. Our first product, Coolspotters (http://coolspotters.com), was born of the simple idea that product, style, and fashion trends are driven largely by celebrities and other public figures. At the time, there was no easy or reliable way to discover what products these celebs were wearing, eating, driving, and using, so we saw an exciting opportunity.
2) In a nutshell, how do you describe Coolspotters?
Coolspotters.com is quickly becoming the #1 destination for the latest celebrity fashions, trends, and click-to-buy shopping. We make it easy for people to discover, share, and buy the products and brands used by their favorite celebrities – in their real lives, and in movies and television. Think of it as an association engine that is centered around pop-culture and products/brands.
Coolspotters provides tools for users to share everything they know about their favorite celebrities, products, brands, and entertainment. Community members can “spot” celebrities with the fashions they wear in their real lives, or with the movies in which they’ve appeared, for example. They can also spot products or brands with the TV shows and movies in which they’ve been featured. The result is a universe of inter-connected profiles, allowing users to discover what’s hot now…or emerging as the next big thing. Rachel Zoe, celebrity stylist, called Coolspotters the “Google of People and Products”. We like that.
3) You just raised some new money. What did your investors love about the story?
We have some great investors that we view as true partners. Second Avenue Partners has supported us since day one. And most recently, Steamboat Ventures invested.
One of the things that resonates most with our investors is the idea that celebrities and their buying habits are huge predictors of trends and help define what’s “cool”. Until recently, the only glimpse you’d get into the product choices of your favorite actor, athlete, musician, or other public figure was from a page in a magazine, a hard-to-search blog, or some side feature on a celebrity website — none of which is easy to find or consume. With Coolspotters, all of the information on the latest celebrity products and trends are in one place – all of it indexed, searchable, and cross-referenced with some of your other favorite things – movies, TV, music, etc.
When someone discovers that their favorite celeb uses a product, they are exponentially more likely to buy it. Coolspotters helps facilitate that discovery, and based on our early numbers, our investors are pretty excited about our future as a new type of commerce engine.
They also love our next product – SimpleSports (http://simplesports). It’s a completely new way to consume sports information that will be launching soon.
4) What do you like most about your job? What do you dislike most?
I’ve always loved building products. I’ve been lucky enough in my career to help create a few really amazing products. Everything at Fanzter centers around providing an environment that allows our people to build great things, and “building” is my favorite part of my job. As far as what I dislike, there’s not much, but I’ll admit it’s more than a challenge maintaining a work/life balance. When you start a company, it’s not unlike having a child, it takes a ton of attention, focus, and care.
5) What bit of trivia would someone not know about Aaron LaBerge?
I have the same watch as Bill Clinton, Bob Iger, The Rock, and Pierce Brosnan. http://coolspotters.com/watches/panerai-luminor

Curious Office takes a bite out of Rouxbe!
We are pleased to announce our latest project! Rouxbe is a company targeting a big market – home cooks of all ages who are motivated to become better cooks. We all know there are lots of hit-and-miss recipe sites. Unlike other online cooking sites that focus on recipes, celebrity chefs and short technique videos, the, Rouxbe School mirrors an actual culinary curriculum, complete with instructional cooking video lessons, practice video recipes, culinary chef exercises, progress reporting, cooking quizzes, and personal chef support.
Rouxbe is for those who want to learn actual technique. The company is also backed, in part, by Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield.
Need a set of icons? Look no further than Helveticons
Just found these today – Helveticons are extremely cool. Should you need icons for wire-framing, presentations, Web applications, buttons, promotional material, or something to put above your desk – Helveticons got you covered. Seven file formats of which six are in scalable vector format. The set contains a lot of different file format, such as .gs for Omnigraffle icons, and .chs for Photoshop shapes. All in all, this is a nice set of graphic design resources. Even if you dont actually use the icons, sometimes its great to have inspiration for common icons.
See us at StartupDay 2009 by Seattle 2.0
We are flattered that Marcelo Calbucci has invited us here at Curious Office to speak at the Seattle StartupDay 2009 hosted by Seattle 2.0. StartupDay is the conference for pre-entrepreneurs interested in founding or joining a tech startup. Meet one-on-one with advisors. Learn how to pick the right idea, build your team, fund the business, build your product, bring it to market and make a profit. Learn what’s important for creating a tech business from scratch.
Here at Curious Office we are all about startups and that’s why we think this event is going to be great for any aspiring entrepreneur. StartupDay is a conference for people who are interested in learning about startups so they can better prepare themselves when they decide to found or join one.
What comes around goes around
I was reading on TechCrunch today that 5min raised another big round of funding for what is in essence a syndication platform for instructional, knowledge and lifestyle videos, both professionally produced and user-generated.
Sometimes, timing is everything. Back in 2000 there was no YouTube. We tried to do a video aggregation play for “special interest” and instructional videos just as 5min is doing today. But, the problem was that broadband and video consumption in general just wasn’t pervasive on the internet. We were too early. There was no existing content on the web to just link to so we had to dredge it up from video reels and encode it all! So, we merged Rocketvox with another company to become thePlatform and focused on video technology instead.
There are two key lessons I took away from that experience. First, was that timing is as important as your idea itself. If your timing is wrong you have two choices. One, is to buckle down and slog it out for years. Or, you can change your strategy. You know your timing is too early when you talk to big companies who obviously should care about what you are doing but who don’t yet have a developed strategy and team dedicated to working that particular initiative. In such cases you have to make the tough call. Do you put your head down and ride it out in hopes that you are right? Or, do you shift your model to try and demonstrate shorter term successes. It’s a personal question only you can answer. In retrospect, I think we made the right decision. However, it wouldn’t have been a dumb idea to resurrect RocketVox as a content play several years later. I never did and probably should have.
Sometimes old ideas done better and with fresh perspective are the best ideas going.
Interview series: Eric Peters of FrugalMechanic
1) Tell us about Eric Peters. How did you come to start FrugalMechanic?
I’m a Seattle native, born and bred here for 28 years. I graduated from the UW with a degree in Business – but I also paid for school programming database driven websites. Programming+Business = Win. After school, I split my time between corporate jobs at Amazon and Microsoft (MSN Search). At Amazon, I was the only business user in Retail Hardlines to have a Linux Developer box (which I had to get an SVP approval for) and also my own SQL login account to the data warehouse. At Microsoft, I was one of a handful of search data experts & got to run & analyze monetization and usability AB Tests for MSN Search.
I left Microsoft a few years ago to go to an Ignition Partners startup SecondSpace (now called DataSphere) where in June of ‘08 my best friend Tim Underwood (who I had recruited to SS) and I were laid off – that’s how Frugal Mechanic really got started. At the PI, John Cook wrote a blurb about us in August 2008 @ http://www.seattlepi.com/venture/374001_vc08.html. At the time our initial goal was to spend the summer and “build that startup idea” we never could scrape the time together for. That summer turned into much, much longer.
2) In a nutshell, how do you describe FrugalMechanic?
We’re a shopping website for auto parts.
OK, that’s a little short but that’s what the website does for consumers. On the backend we scrape & normalize content from across dozens of websites, handle price refreshes, and power a front-end that has over 50M pieces of fitment information for auto parts. Oh did I also mention we power over 40 different websites all from the same code base? A couple of our more high profile partnerships include http://autoparts.cardomain.com, http://auto-parts.myride.com, and http://autoparts.thecarconnection.com
3) Who are your big competitors and what value proposition sets you apart?
It would be easy for me to say Price Grabber/Nexttag/Shopzilla/MSN Shopping/eBay/etc. The reality, though, is they rank terribly for auto-part related searches, so our biggest competitors are other individual auto part retailers.
Over the shopping comparison engines, our biggest advantage is our normalized dataset. We know which parts fit which cars – that model just doesn’t work on Price Grabber/EBay/etc. We also can de-dupe the different auto part numbers to provide a more comprehensive retailer options (the same exact Bosch fuel filter can have over a dozen different part numbers)
Over individual retailers, it’s the breadth of our selection. No one has the ability to have as large of a SKU offering, since we don’t have to optimize for profitability by picking any handful of distributors. If one retailer gets cheaper pricing on Fram parts, we pass that information onto the consumer, if another has better pricing on Bosch then we pass that information a long. We’re an independent and comprehensive database.
The whitelabel solution I mentioned is one of our competitive advantages for driving distribution – there are a lot of automotive enthusiast websites that would like to have an turn-key auto part store without the headache of customer service. We can do that for them, and at no cost (in-fact we pay them a revshare of our affiliate revenue)
4) What do you like most about your job? What do you dislike most?
I love wearing multiple hats. By far, that’s one of the biggest joys a business-techie guy like myself can have. I can be having a biz dev call in the morning, writing code during lunch, and de-duping auto part categories in a spreadsheet all in the same day.
On the flipside, starting my own startup has been one of the most stressful situations – especially when we were consulting to bootstrap in the earlier months – it was very distracting and sucks a lot of energy out of you. My boss can also be a bit of an a$$h0le sometimes, but I find it hard to talk behind his back.
5) What bit of trivia would someone not know about FrugalMechanic?
My Co-Founder & Best Friend Tim Underwood is also a Seattleite (I have visual proof – http://twitpic.com/9xaxj – Socks w/Sandles!)

Our own Inkd.com profiled on Smashing Magazine today
One of the web’s larger graphic design portals did a nice expose one usability and design. Inkd was included as an example of good design. Smashing Magazine wrote the following:
When it comes to building customer’s trust in your company, a professional, trustworthy design becomes crucial. In the Web, people are very likely to mistrust online-business, so you better make sure that you appear credible and serious. Inkd.com does just that with a professional look, a solid grid-based layout and following classic usability conventions.
The 15+ Best Magazines for Print Designers
Over at our print design marketplace, Inkd, we’ve compiled a blog post containing the top 15 graphic design magazines. Most also have free trials and discounts for designers belonging to organizations or for students, and all of these magazines have resource rich companion websites.Some magazines are highly focused on graphic design, some are great for general inspiration. Many have at least annual calls for design and competition. This is a really great list. Particularly for those of you who design brochures, newsletters and other print material.
