Congratulations to my friend, Scott Karp, whose fledging business took a big step forward this week.
Today we’re announcing that Publish2 has raised $2.75 million in Series A funding from Velocity Interactive Group — Jonathan Miller and Ross Levinsohn will be joining our board (along with Jeff Jarvis and Luke Beatty, who have been close advisors).
Note that along with Howard Weaver, Jack Lail I’m an advisor to Publish2.
Publish2 has a lot of potential to both help bring to the top of the link pile the best of online journalism, but also give newspaper sites a deeper source of content.
