Betashop joins RJ Metrics

A few weeks back I wrote about how RJ Metrics was Fab’s secret weapon in our recent $40 million fundraising. In that post I also let on that I was so impressed with the RJ Metrics product that I literally begged their team to let me invest.

Today I’m thrilled to announce that I’m part of a new $1.2M funding for RJ Metrics and I’m joining their Board of Directors. RJ Metrics’ new investors also include SoftTech VC, Lerer Ventures, SV Angel, Zelkova Ventures, Upstage Ventures, Red Swan Ventures, Venture Capitalist Jon Anderson, Wharton Professor Kartik Hosanagar, DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg.
