    ning - TechCrunch

    Ning raised $60M on $500M pre-money valuation. They don't really have a great use for these funds - they just want to "keep their powder dry" to let Ning grow even through an impeding recession.

    Founder's Co-op.

    Andy Sack and Chris Devore (both of Judy's Book) have created a $2M fund and co-working space for new internet founders. Very nice idea. I like the investment tie they are making between founders in the fund to get a pool of equity in each other's companies (I talked about doing this last year - but these guys are actually putting $ behind it).

    Yelp Raises $15 Million Fourth Round, Rumored Valuation $200 Million

    Yelp is a great site - I've recently been using it to find great spots to grab a weekend breakfast. They have raised a total of $31M. Wow - that's a BIG NUMBER. And one wonders - WHY? Certainly the technology development and data center costs can build the equivalent site for far less.

    An even bigger number - their purported $200M valuation. That's $25 per monthly unique. That's BUBBLE territory, in my book.

    Revenues are claimed at "sub $10M". My (generous) guess - they're getting 20M monthly page views at $4 CPM -> that's less than $1M per year. It doesn't make sense to me they can be making anywhere near $10M.

    Quoted: Yelp, the popular local review site, will soon announce a new $15 million dollar round of financing led by DAG Ventures. The valuation ...
