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.
