Excerpt: We had planned last week to post on GigaOM about Durham, North Carolina-based iContact. The four-year old email marketing and blogging software startup closed a $5.35 million round of funding from Updata Partners and IDEA Fund Partners on June 29 – which is still news, especially in Durham. Then we met (virtually) the company’s 22-year-old founder and CEO, Ryan Allis. When we read a bit more about Allis’ tumultuous experiences as a founder–and the lengths he and his partner went to get their business off the ground–we determined iContact’s story would have more runway on Found|READ. So here it is. Read and Learn.
