Hi - Rand here, CEO at Moz. This story's inaccurate in a few ways:<p>1) We have not raised any capital. I posted about seeking investment here - <a href="http://randfishkin.com/blog/113/inflection-points-bravery-vs-foolishness" rel="nofollow">http://randfishkin.com/blog/113/inflection-points-bravery-vs...</a> - but no developments since. A funding of this size must be filed publicly, so anyone can check and see that it's not been done.<p>2) We do not have 35 employees. We have ~45.<p>3) We have ~14,000 subscribers to PRO, not 1,000<p>Well, you get the idea. The reporter at VentureBeat published the piece before talking to us (she called the office about 15mins prior to publication, but I was on a plane).
