Google Ventures Leads $4MM Round for SCVNGR!

Hello Blog Readers!

Some very exciting news!

Google has invested $4MM into SCVNGR to help us grow the company bigger, better and faster! They were joined in the round by Highland Capital (who led our Series A investment). We’re very excited to be working with Google and Highland as SCVNGR enters this next phase in our growth.

Rich Miner (founder of Android and partner at Google Ventures) and Peter Bell (founder of Storage Networks and partner at Highland Capital) are now on our board of directors!

You can read more about the round (which was first broken by TechCrunch on Christmas Eve!) here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12/24/scvngr-google/

We’ll be doing a proper press release / announcement sometime in early January and will be giving you the full details on our exciting plans for the future. So stay tuned!

Happy Holidays from the SCVNGR Team!
