They've got our back

Last week marked a milestone in the history of Plinky with the closing of our first round of financing. Om Malik wrote about our financing on Gigaom a few weeks ago before the round had formally closed so I wanted to introduce a few more of our backers.

We eventually accepted $1.6M in total from Polaris Venture Partners as well as insightful social software pals Jeff Clavier of SoftTech VC and Mike Jones of Userplane/AOL. We are happy to have them on board and look forward to working with them as Plinky takes shape.

Congrats on the financing. Polaris is a great VC. I work at a polaris backed company now and worked at one 10 years ago as well. It is good to have Sim as an advisor. Good luck

I wanna work for Plinky--can't find your recruiting site. Do you have one?
