Social News Start-up Social Median Raises Angel Funds

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on February 7, 2008 - 8:06am.

Seattle - Social Median, a social news start-up founded by former Jobster.com head Jason Goldberg, has raised its first round of angel funding, but declined to disclose the investors or amount raised, the Seattle P-I reports.

"The disruption of the traditional news creation and delivery model has fascinated me for many years now. Now I'll take a shot at participating in that disruption. I'm particularly energized by thoughts on how to improve the consumer 'news-getting' experience," Goldberg wrote on his Social Median blog.

The company was incorporated in Delaware last month.

Goldberg's previous venture, Jobster, raised $48 million from venture capital firms.
