Companies of all sizes and quality seem to be raising some big bucks. So my question is how easy is it to raise venture capital for a startup in the US or is it a case of more who you know.

"SixApart have a lot more growing to do..." With such a huge readership I'd think you'd atleast proof before posting. The eJamming post has an error as well "I’m particularly interesting in how eJamming handles latency issues.

Like George M said, I'm assuming VCs are going to want a large 6-10x return in 5-7 years, and that's going to be hard to do by any measure. It's already so easy to set up blogging tools for free, so where is the (huge) revenue potential? I wonder if SixApart isn’t setting itself up for a fall by taking so much funding?

The venture capitalist will require some where around 6x their invest in 5 years. Will Six Apart really be able to payback their investors approx. $138 million five years from now ($23M * 6)? They better have something huge in the works. Raised $23 million - wow, that’s a huge amount of money for a VC to invest.
