Congratulations to Seth Goldstein and the rest of the crew at SocialMedia for for closing a $3.5 million Series A.
A great interview with Seth in Business 2.0 about SocialMedia. (Hat tip, Mr. Yardley.)
Seth was instrumental in the formation of my company, Lijit Networks, and my turn to entrepreneurship. Back in 2005 he talked me out of a cushy job in the valley to come work for him in New York while figuring out if my thesis could be a company. When things looked good, he introduced me to Brad Feld, which really got things rolling.
