Experiences Recruiting Venture Capital - Part 1. (Informed Networker Blog)





Informed Networker is a less than one year-old startup based in Langhorne. Its website is sort of a cross between Digg and Slashdot, focusing on serious news for IT professionals, with a general emphasis on networking technologies.
Dave Mackey, a network engineer in his early 20's, started it in his "spare time" and only in the last couple of month has shifted to a full time effort. He has some limited staff support. He says the site is running at a rate of roughly 2500 plus unique visitors and 16,000 plus page views per month.
