Well I’m a bit late in posting this but it is true. The first company we developed internally at Curious Office (and where I am the CEO) just raised a pile of money.
The round was led by German publishing conglomerate Holtzbrinck though there was also participation from Silicon Valley venture capital firm Crosslink Capital.
Seattle angel investors — including former Expedia Chief Executive Erik Blachford, PhotoDisc co-founder Tom Hughes and Second Avenue Partners co-founder Nick Hanauer — also participated. As did the European Founders Fund, the venture firm created by the German brothers who sold Alando.de to eBay in 1999.
Pretty exciting huh? Here’s to a big 2007.
