MyBlogLog founder to launch new startup Gnip with $1 million in funding!
As per told in TechCruch, Eric Marcoullier founded MyBlogLog with Todd Sampson in January of 2005.
The service went live in March 2005 and was acquired by Yahoo for an estimated $10 million in January 2007.
Thereafter, he left Yahoo in July 2007.
Eric is now preparing to launch a new startup, Gnip, but details are scarce for now.
Eric isn’t saying what the new startup will do other than a hint on the site itself, “Web 2.0 Infrastructure”, and a message that the service will launch in May.
The startup is already funded, he says, with a $1 million round from Foundry Group and SoftTech VC. Foundry Group’s Brad Feld and SoftTech VC’s Jeff Clavier are joining the board of directors of the company.
