We Got Milk
By Tony Conrad, April 26, 2011
I’m posting this afternoon to congratulate Milk co-founders Kevin Rose, Daniel Burka, Jeff Hodsdon, and their team who announced a $1.5M seed round today. This team exemplifies exactly the type of entrepreneurs with whom we strive to work. Like co-investors Evan Williams (Blogger, Twitter), Matt Mullenweg (WordPress), Tony Hsieh (Zappos) and Philip Rosedale (Second Life), these are what we refer to as “once in a decade” product visionaries. They just get product. It’s intuitive. It’s joyful.
We’re equally thrilled to be involved alongside some of the web’s most talented entrepreneurs and investors: Evan Williams, Matt Mullenweg, Philip Rosedale, Tony Hsieh, Tim Ferriss, Dave Morin, Joshua Schachter, Brian Pokorny, Philip Kaplan, Chamath Palihapitiya, Gary Vanyerchuk, Anthony Casalena, Kurt Wilms, Ashton Kutcher, Chris Sacca, Matt Williams, Shervin Pishevar, Don Dodge, Richard DeSilva, SV Angel, First Round Capital, Greylock, and Floodgate. Phew. That’s a good chunk of the web.
Thank you, Kevin, Daniel, Jeff, and team for your faith and confidence in True. Congrats on your round, and congrats also on building a phenomenal syndicate of angel investors. We are really honored to be a part of the Milk team and look forward to the adventure ahead.
