Great Weather for AdTech SF and Buddy Media News
It was a great week for technology and weather! Temps in the 70's and sunny. It was picture perfect. Big news this week as well: Buddy Media, the company I work for and responsible for my lack of weather posts the past 6 months has raised $6.5 million in a second round from Softbank, European Founders Fund, Greycroft Partners, Ron Conway, as well as its previous backers.. Buddy Media previously raised $1.5 million from Howard Lindzon, Peter Thiel, Roger Ehrenberg Mark Pincus and James Altucher, for a total $8 million. With the new funding, we officially launched our own ad network. I'm very pleased at the success so far -- hats off to Michael Lazerow and Kass Lazerow for kicking things into high gear. More great news to come.
