Such a great start to 2008. We announced the closing of our Series A funding, we’re in the homestretch of releasing Coolspotters.com, we’re settled into our new (and very cool) office space, and the team is still growing.
Our first round investors include Rich Barton (founder of Expedia and CEO of Zillow.com), Second Avenue Partners (Mike Slade & Nick Hanauer), and Curious Office Partners (Adrian Hanauer and Kelly Smith). An incredible group. For more information about them, or our closed funding round, please see the “Press” page of Fanzter.com. For more details on everything else going on, feel free to check our latest newsletter.
Stay tuned.

Sorry it’s been a while.
Sometimes, the byproduct of building something new is that other things (like communicating with our friends in the “outside world”) fall by the wayside. But I’m very happy to share the news that we’re getting close to launch. The past six months have been an exciting and challenging time, but it has also been one of the most rewarding of my life. To see our company grow, and our product take shape and progress every day…it’s a great feeling.
Today I’m happy to invite you to sign up for the closed beta of Coolspotters.com. When you see it, I hope you’ll be as excited as we are for what we’ve been building.
Thank you all for the support and encouragement so far. We all appreciate it.
