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

Hi,
I helped develop an idea that would go great on social sites but our group needed an outlet to present. I feel that you might like what we have to offer. Any possibility of arranging a quick talk? (mfineman@gmail.com).
Good luck with your venture!

yea, I'm curious about stock as well. Or a job too. I'm not super computer savvy but I'm an idea man.. and super creative. Hope all is well.
