Anti-ad social network Ello raises another $5 million
Created in 2013 as a "private" social network described as the "anti-Facebook" for its stand on privacy and advertising, Ello (ello.co) opened its doors publicly in August 2014 on an invitation-only basis. (Paul J. Richards, AFP)
Ello, the little social networking site that could, just raised an additional $5 million from investors, bringing its total investment to $11 million.
The new funds come from current investors Foundry Group, Techstars Ventures and FreshTracks Capital. The previous round $5.5 million last fall went toward hiring developers and adding several features to the site: drag-and-drop editing, drafts and full-screen browsing and navigation. Mobile apps for iOS and Android are to be released this spring.
"The money we've raised will be 100 percent used to let Ello continue to hire only the best people and to let us take our time to grow and build Ello right, with the right features in the right order," Paul Budnitz, Ello's CEO, said in an e-mail.
Mark Solon, managing partner at Techstars Ventures, will join the Ello board.
The Ello team has grown to 27 people, with about two-thirds in metro Denver. Co-founders and head designers Todd Berger and Lucian Fohr are in Boulder. Other co-founders include members of software developer Mode Set in Denver. Budnitz is in Vermont.
A recent hire includes Pete Sheinbaum, the former CEO of Daily Candy, as Ello's chief operating officer.
"Our dev team are all senior developers. We purposely hire rule breakers who have their point of view and are free to express it in the things they make," Budnitz said.
The new money will be used to improve and expand the site.
"No, we didn't use up all our money yet," Budnitz said.

Ask Slashdot: Living Without Social Media In 2015?
An anonymous reader writes On Slashdot, we frequently write derogatory comments regarding social networking sites. We bash Facebook and the privacy implications associated with having a great deal of your life put out there for corporations to monetize. Others advocate for deleting your Facebook profile. Six months ago, I did exactly that. However, as time went on, I have fully realized social media's tacit importance to function in today's world, especially if you are busy advancing your career and making the proper connections to do so. Employers expect a LinkedIn profile that they can check and people you are meeting expect a Facebook account. I have heard that not having an account on the almighty Facebook could label you as a suspicious person. I have had employers express hesitation in hiring me (they used the term "uncomfortable") and graduate school interviewers have asked prying questions regarding some things that would normally be on a person's social media page. Others have literally recoiled in horror at the idea of someone not being on Facebook. I have found it quite difficult to even maintain a proper social life without a social media account to keep up to date with any sort of social activities (even though most of them are admittedly quite mundane). Is living without social media possible in 2015? Does social media have so much momentum that the only course of action is simply to sign up for such services to maintain normality despite the vast privacy issues associated with such sites? Have we forgotten how to function without Facebook?
