I first met Nick Halstead in 2009 when he was running a company called Tweetmeme (the predecessor to DataSift) who had invented the Retweet button and actually helped Twitter develop its early API. He travelled tirelessly to clients, data partners and to the UK to make sure the global organization was synchronized. Shaping an industry.

And with the crash of Sept 2009 – March 2009 the market cleared out created an open field in which to invest, go slowly, learn and let companies mature before they felt the need to be “hyped.” partners and now principals making investments that number is the right-sized fit for our firm.

If there is an opportunity to bring in a syndicate partner that will add exponential value, it would be foolish to not include them. It is the downturns and bumps that separate the dedicated, long-term investors from passive ones — and entrepreneurs should keep this in mind as they build out their syndicates.

Revenue growth: 51% YoY (2010), 1% YoY (2009), 131% YoY (2008). Historically more revenue came from distribution/lead-gen (57% in 2007), but this tipped in 2008 though appears to be steady from 2009 to 2010 at about 58% advertising and 42% distribution.

One occurrence of this was in Q1/Q2 2009. In August/September 2009, the founders and I agreed to work together to raise a round of financing for the company. I helped introduce the company to various angels and lead the effort to form a syndicate for their fund-raising round. This happened not just once, but multiple times.
