We announced yesterday that we had closed a $500,000 financing round which was led by Founders Co-op and leading Seattle & Bay Area investors and entrepreneurs. Casey and I are grateful for the support of our users and our investors and we’re excited to have the resources to continue to develop our platform. News of the financing was on TechCrunch, TechFlash and Xconomy.
Lee has a review of LookStat on his blog Microstock Diaries. If you’re not already a subscriber to his blog, you should be. It was one of the first places I went when I began exploring microstock and I haven’t missed a post since my initial visit. In addition to writing an excellent, informative blog, Lee’s a great guy and if you get the chance to meet him, I highly recommend it.
Thanks for the review to Lee and also, a big thank you to Andresr for his nice words! Casey and I really appreciate it.
There’s a detailed review of LookStat on Microstock Insider. Thanks for checking us out and taking the time to post such an extensive, thoughtful review. Also, it was great to meet you at UGCX. We’ll definitely keep you posted as we make improvements.
We got a nice mention on the Veer Marketplace.
The mix also included folks like Rahul Pathak of LookStat – part of a growing cadre of talented indviduals and companies who are developing innovative third party tools for microstock contributors.
Thanks for the shout out Brian. We’re grateful to be part of the microstock community and excited about the launch of Veer Marketplace. I hope you have a great 2009.
