Baydin Closes Its $375,000 Funding Round (In An UberCab, Per Our Suggestion)
Back in October we wrote about Baydin, a startup that managed to land some of its seed funding with some very unusual tactics: by giving Dave McClure a ride to his mechanic and pitching him along the way.McClure committed to invest by the end of the ride " and the startup has been working to close other investors (though more traditional means, presumably) since then. Today, it's announcing that it's closed its $375,000 seed funding round, with investors including Manu Kumar (K9 Ventures), David Cohen (TechStars), Peter Weck (Keepsy, SimplyHired), Meng Wong (Pobox), McClure, and Mike Simonoff.As a nod to our earlier post, in which Michael Arrington suggested McClure take an UberCab next time, Baydin asked Manu Kumar to sign their closing documents in... an UberCab.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/2Jc_H2D4noU/
