By John Cook at 12:36 am on 05/15/2013 | 19 Comments

Those around the GeekWire offices know that I occasionally like to drop an f-bomb or two every once in a while. It's not in anger, typically. It just kind of feels nice rolling off the tongue. Now, I've got an excuse for my potty mouth. It's a cultural thing. I'm from mother f***ing Ohio, dammit! Marchex, the Seattle mobile call advertising company, used a … Read More...

By John Cook at 9:25 pm on 05/14/2013 | 18 Comments

Tesla isn't going to let a little legislation slow it down.

Startup valuations remain strong, but ‘down rounds’ increase to 28% of all VC deals

By John Cook at 4:12 pm on 05/14/2013 | Leave a Comment

It was a bit of a mixed message in the latest Entrepreneurs Report from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, as so-called "down rounds" increased at the same time that startup valuations in some categories went even higher. First, on valuations. The median pre-money valuations increased for series A and later-stage funding deals. For the fourth quarter, the last … Read More...

By Dan Shapiro at 2:05 pm on 05/13/2013 | 10 Comments

For a long time I've felt like I must be either the first or last entrepreneur to discover the ABC series Shark Tank.  For the uninitiated, it's pure startup voyeurism: a company stands in front of a panel of five plutocrats, pitches, and either gets an investment or gets laughed off the stage. It wasn't until Jeremy Liew's great review of the latest episode that I … Read More...
