Avvo Series C


I do a wide variety of things here at Avvo, from talking to angry attorneys to fetching drinks for our Friday beer gardens. Over the last week, I've been back in deal mode, wrapping our Series C financing - a $10MM round lead by DAG Ventures, joined by our existing investors Benchmark Capital and Ignition Partners.

Compared to M&A, negotiating a C round venture investment isn't exactly exciting (although it does generate a lot more paper). We kept this one hopping by closing in record time - 9 days from term sheet to close. Kudos to our great investors, DAG's counsel at Cooley and our attorneys at Perkins for moving this thing along so quickly. We're awfully excited about what the next year has in store for us.
