NowPublic Raises $1.4-million from Angels

by | Jun 2, 2006 | News, Work

Local Vancouver start-up NowPublic have just announced receiving funding of (USD) $1.4-million from a group of leading technology and media investors and individuals.

The company will be using the financing to grow its reporter base and deliver the first On Demand ReportingTM system to content owners. Rumor is, it will also be using the proceeds to pay all of the hard working developers who have slaved to make the site what it is today. Thanks guys.

Congratulations go out to Mike Tippett and the NowPublic team! They’ve toiled for awhile now and this funding must feel like validation of their model and leadership.
