April was a month of great progress. We added 3 additional team members to our team reaching a total strength of 7 people. One more person will be joining us in early May. We have folks from a great array of companies including Microsoft, RIM, Opsware, Revenue Science and Amazon.

Development is well under way this month. We have a development milestone every 2 weeks with the team giving a demo on what they have completed. It was great to see the quick progress our team was able to make and demonstrate the major pieces of the functionality. We also made great headway in building the overall UI for the site and are actively looking for a great web design firm to make UI even more compelling and easy to use.

On the funding front, the news about the launch of our company allowed us to attract attention from a number of prominent investors. While we were not looking to raise additional funds in the short term, we decided to take in some additional funding to give ourselves more flexibility with our launch plans and resources. In a matter of a few weeks, we closed funding from a number of very prominent angels including some from the VC community who have invested their own personal funds in the company. The additional funds has allowed us to add more development resources as well as expand the scope of our initial offering. In addition, our investors will be very helpful in making introductions to top tier VC firms both in Pacific NW and the Bay area.

Another item of note is the coverage we received in the Washington CEO magazine. The article will be in the May issue of the magazine and covers our company along with 2 other Seattle area start ups (Zoodango and Mixxer).
