October 7th, 2009 by acoleman
The location based social network known as Foursquare, had received $1.35 million in investments during its first seed round of funding. Although some of the investors were disclosed shortly after, there were a number of them that were not. Little by little the mystery investors have been revealed and the latest is Digg founder Kevin Rose.
The major investors that were disclosed by Foursquare were Union Square Ventures, and O’Reilly Alpha Tech Ventures. The private investors that have slowly been revealed are Twitter creator Jack Dorsey, Foursquare co-founder Dennis Crowley, and Crowley’s former partner Alex Rainert. The latest of them Kevin Rose.
Rose revealed his involvement in the Foursquare investment during a presentation at FOWA in London. His involvement would definitely indicate the growing popularity of Foursquare. Hopefully the rest of the investors will be disclosed soon.
