Early this year we wrote about Pumkpinhead, the working name for new startup About.me being created by repeat entrepreneurs/investors Tony Conrad and Tim Young.
We didn’t know much about the startup except that it had top angel
investors involved: True Ventures, Ron Conway, AOL Ventures, Scott
Kurnit, Founders Collective, Radar Partners (Doug Mackenzie & Kevin
Compton) and David Mahoney. Freestyle Capital has also invested since
then.
The company is still in stealth, but they’ve given out a few beta accounts to friends and advisors, they say. Part of the product is a personal profile page that points people to your content around the Internet, allowing you to pull all this information together to build a single online identity. So these beta users are creating very noticeable splash pages. Examples: Founder Tony Conrad, AOL CEO Tim Armstrong, Typekit founder Jeffrey Veen and author Ellen Hopkins. You can see my About.me page here.
