HackFwd

My good friend and fabulis investor, Lars Hinrichs, launched HackFwd today. Pre-seed investment company for developing early-stage startups in Europe. Check it out! http://hackfwd.com/. Awesome concept that I think will spur many startups in Europe. Addresses some of the key challenges of entrepreneurship in Europe, namely risk aversion of founders, lack of startup networks and infrastructure.

citibank is so not fabulis

Hi everyone. Jason Goldberg here, founder and ceo of fabulis.

In a bit of strange and disturbing news, fabulis discovered today that someone(s) at Citibank had decided arbitrarily to block fabulis’ bank account due to what was described to us on the phone as “objectionable content” on our blog. In fact, the account — it turns out — was blocked a few days ago without anyone letting us know about it by phone or email.

Huh?

Mind you, fabulis is a serious business, backed by some serious players, and for the life of us we can’t find anything “objectionable” on our blog besides some good humor, some business insights, and some touching coming out stories from some great and fabulis gay people.

So, what gives?

And wtf. When did Citibank start reviewing blogs to decide who can bank with them?
Calls into Citibank tonight resulted in a temporary lifting of the block while a compliance officer is asked to re-review our website on Thursday.
Stay tuned … we’ll update you on this shocker as we learn more.

I promise you that if we do not get a good response to this on Thursday we are moving our bank account to a bank that respects and appreciates our business.
