It was just announced that one of my portfolio companies, Buddy Media, raised a $6.5 million Series B round led by my friends at Softbank Capital.
Sometimes in the life of an investor things just feel right, and this company, its business model and its partners feel just right. From the time I got involved with Mike Lazerow and the Buddy Media team I’ve been impressed with their combination of vision, a bias towards action and cold-nosed pragmatism. And I’ve had the privilege of being in the midst of all this excitement from my seat on the Board. From the time we completed the Series A round it has been a whirlwind, closing strategic deals with applications developers, commercial deals with marquee advertisers and ad agencies and recruiting top people to accelerate growth. These were heady times.
