I am thrilled to announce the close of a new round of funding for Scout Labs! Full press release here.

I am happy about the pace at which we’ve been adding new data, features and insight in the last seven months, since launch. (Has it only been just over half a year?! Time flies when you are having fun!) But this new influx of capital will help us go even faster. New data sources, new visualizations and reports, new integrations, new ways to uncover the mind of your market. And until now, our customers have been our ONLY marketing and PR resources. We hope to continue to call you our best evangelists, but we’ll be adding a few more troops to the army.

Of course the big bank account is quite nice, but I am just as excited about the amazing new team of partners that we have gained from El Dorado Ventures and Javelin Venture Partners.

Thank you for making our first seven months so stunningly successful. We promise to keep up our end of the bargain — being the best at finding signals in the noise to help you understand the mind of your market.
