"I reached out to co-founder Jason Freedman who said that the company is not ready to disclose additional details about the funding round. That being the case, he (or likely an underling) would have been better off not posting it on the the tech world’s version of the water cooler."<p>========================<p>Well.. I think adding the "(unannounced) Series A" to a job posting wasn't that stupid after all. On the contrary, they just got free coverage from PandoDaily. Probably when they officially announce their Series A in a few weeks they'll get press again. Jason Freedman is a pretty smart guy and I've been following his (old) blog (humbledMBA) for a long time. I would be very surprised if this was mistakenly added to the job posting. :)
When I read (unannounced) in the job posting, I was just counting the minutes..<p>Curious to know if this was intentional, but probably isn't as you can pretty much get anyone to cover a $5M Series A on your terms..
"At this stage, 42Floors only serves the Bay Area, but Freedman tells me that the New York City launch is just over month out, likely followed by other technology hubs around the world like Cambridge, Boston, and Seattle."<p>Funny definition of world. Regardless, congratulations!
