News from the portfolio

Posted on | May 19, 2010 | No Comments

A couple noteworthy happenings in the portfolio:

  • Victors & Spoils celebrated their six month anniversary (I know, it sounds a little bit like a high school romance, but start ups age in dog years, so six months matters). In this blog post you can read about what they have already accomplished, which includes developing a creative team of over 750 people, attracting several blue chip clients, and working on projects ranging from product design to the creation/production of a television advertising campaign.  Certainly a lot to cram into six short months.  V&S made further waves this week when they announced that Jon Bond, the co-founder and former managing partner of Kirshenbaum, Bond, Senecal + Partners, joined V&S as an investor and strategic partner.  Having spent some time with Jon over the last few months, and having heard his thoughts on the changing world of marketing, I am very excited about what this partnership means for the company.  You can read about the announcement here in AdWeek.
  • High Country Venture recently made a seed investment in a Boulder based start-up company called Grogger.  The founders of Grogger have developed a group blog platform that allows bloggers to crowdsource their content.  You can read more about the company on their website.  Grogger was recently selected to participate in the Boulder Techstars Program, and we are excited about supporting the team this summer as they work with their customers, refine their product offering, and prepare for a Series A Financing in the fall.
