I can think of two reasons for not saying - one, if you get a nice round on a good valuation for something relatively simple, the copycats will come in days or weeks. Second, maybe your investors don't want to let the world know how much they gave you, or valuation figures - so what should the company/founders do?

This is information that could help their competitors, and I don't see what advantage the startups get from publishing the numbers. Plus, without the numbers, journalists will have to write something more substantive about the firms. Agree that it makes sense for startups to NOT disclose the amounts of their funding rounds.

As far as momentum is concerned, the space is extremely crowded. They must continue to move the product out of beta more quickly than they have in the past year.

Of this, $1MM came from Adobe and $0.5MM from LMKR. I believe the pre-money valuation was $3MM. This is a company with no business model, an incomplete product, no revenues and no real customers.

I'm glad that companies are trying to keep those things quiet and get down to work to justify the investment. Honestly, TC is getting boring now. There's not much posting about real tech innovation in the space anymore, but a lot about Series A's and B's and closing a round of funding blah, blah blah. I keep getting more and more bored as I see TC headlines in google reader... wait... In fact really, of the last 30 stories, 2 were about funding or acquisitions. Seriously, this is a mid-post correction as I switched back to this tab from google reader. Keep up the good work guys. Great!
