SixApart is the deal Brad Feld always mentioned as the one RSS investment that got away, at the time when he invested in Newsgator, Feedburner and Technorati after drawing a RSS value chain, analysing his own behaviour and extrapolating it into investment opportunities, a couple years back (Great Timing) I wonder what he thinks of this price and who are the investors in Six Apart's rumoured $12m/C Round. I think the interesting VC meets blogging action myself will be around the Wordpress commercialisations. (see brad's mention yday of judysbook use of microformats etc) From one of Om's blogs : "While I have not been able to speak with anyone from Six Apart, some of my sources in Silicon Valley are telling me that this one is rumored to be a hotly contested deal. The pre-money valuation was said to be around $80 million when Six Apart started raising money, but since then it has become a hotly contested deal, and the pre-money valuation is said to have climbed north of $100 million. Sources say the funding round hasn’t closed as yet. I am going to qualify all this as a rumor since I have not spoken to Six Apart folks. And when I do, I will update the story accordingly."
