Lost In Translation
JumpPost is getting some nice love from the press. Here’s a sample of our coverage.

Generally speaking, I think the press is doing a great job of communicating our value proposition and story. We are supremely grateful for the attention and kind words.
One point of clarification: The NY Post said we are now raising $1 Million. That’s not true. I told Jennifer (who is awesome) that when we are ready to raise, we will likely shoot for north of $1 Million. We aren’t quite there yet. The time element of our fundraising goals was lost in translation. I only clarify because whenever I read in the press that a company is raising money, I interpret that to mean “the company has been in the market and is having a tough time raising money” (Foursquare type rounds excluded)
Not the case with JumpPost. We have not pitched a single investor for outside capital in our 7 months of existence. When we do, I probably won’t advertise it in the newspaper 🙂
