Meebo- 1st round funding.
Earlier today, the web-ajax based messaging service Meebo posted the confirmation to rumors of it getting funded. Meebo team posted here the news about Meebo getting its first round of funding from Sequoia Capital.
Apart from its support for top messaging services, Meebo has some interesting ideas up their sleeves which could become a part of their undisclosed business model. Meebo was launched officially to the public on September 14th 2005. Three months later the company is getting its first round of funding, which is awesome !
I personally congratulate the team of Seth, Elaine, Sandy on this milestone, and hope that they keep up the good user experience.
Uncomfired posts quote the pre-money valuation of the service at $10M. Thats awesome for this young startup. Considering that this is series-A funding Sequoia Capital would be funding around $2M, which is my ballpark number, and which seems to be good for a service that is only 3 months old.
