Ready for 2009
By: David Alston
We’re more than pleased today to announce that we have recently closed our series B financing round, completed in December, of just over $6.5M. This joins with our additional exciting news that Radian6 will also receive up to $2.9M from the Atlantic Innovation Fund which we will use to accelerate R&D in the social media monitoring, engagement and marketing space.
Momentum in the social media space is strong. Many companies are increasingly adopting social media practices as a new medium for them to connect with customers. They are discovering new ways to measure their efforts and to monitor their success. And they are concluding that it’s really about the value of connections, not impressions that truly counts.
Indeed, we are seeing this wave of social media adoption continue to build in 2009 and we’re excited to continue to be a part of this momentum.
Congratulations guys! Looks like you really are off to a big year.

David- This is great news! You have worked really hard, and it’s good to see investors supporting the space. Congratulations!

Candace,
Glad to see you here as well. Are we going to get any big “news” from Crimson Hexagon soon?

Aaron,
\"Big news\" comes in all shapes and sizes. Maybe we\’ll announce ours after you (Techrigy) announce yours.
I am wondering if David is still going to drive to all the conferences he attends now that he has a travel budget, or if that was a lifestyle choice.

I prefer to drive vs. fly if it’s on the east coast because nearly as fast as flying. And the food selection is better
