Good morning, All and first, the good news! Congratulations to list member Jack Welde, whose company Smartling recently closed its Series A financing, raising $4M from Venrock, US Venture Partners, and First Round Capital. Smartling makes it easy and affordable for internet businesses to deploy multilingual versions of their websites, via professional translators or crowdsourced translations – and Americans sometimes forget that over 70% of internet users prefer a language other than English. Ke garne? (Yes, that is Nepali and don’t ask.) Press release is here: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/03/prweb3746214.htm
