Genius.com Raises Series E Funding – Misspells ‘Genius’

Posted by ADMIN on Wednesday, March 16, 2011



Genius.com this morning announced that it has closed its fifth round of venture capital financing, led by the emergence of capital. Existing investors Mohr Davidow Ventures, Accel Partners and Deep Fork Capital also participated in the round while supporting early Walden International apparently did not.

The size of the round was not disclosed - Genius.com raised more than $ 40 million in four rounds in the past according to CrunchBase.

In a neat twist of irony, the San Mateo company managed to misspell his own name in the press release (pasted below for posterity), causing your server to laugh.

Funny Typo aside, Genius.com, which provides marketing automation and sales lead management solutions, says it has been profitable and will use the additional capital to strengthen product development and marketing.

The company also announced it has promoted Sam Weber, chief operating officer to CEO. Genius.com co-founder David Thompson to step aside but remain as a strategic advisor.
