Dumbo-based Outside.in Raises Additional Funding
December 17th, 2008
Our Dumbo friends over at outside.in, a personalized, hyperlocal news and discussion site announced yesterday that they have raised an undisclosed sum of new funding from existing venture and angel investors, including Union Square Ventures, the New York City Investment Fund, and Betaworks. With the release of their product, StoryMaps, which offers publishers “geographic navigation for geographic content,” their unique users grew more than 400% from January to November. We personally use Outside.in to get localized information on Brooklyn, and it’s been a helpful tool for us to gather local news. Congratulations to Steven, Mark, and the Outside.in team!

dude, what? this is what you’re posting about now? am i the only one asking himself, “who gives a s*it?” why does anyone living in dumbo care about this? i’m not even being a jerk, i’m totally confused. are you now getting paid for content? disguised advertising? if so, weak.

Congrats to outside.in! I find this kind of info relevant to Dumbo. Who would’ve known that outside.in is in Dumbo? Also, there are lots of businesses and entrepreneurs in the area not highlighted here. If dumbonyc is getting paid, so what? you can start your own website or just move on if you don’t like the content.

“Huh” sounds like hater. Congratulations on your success outside.in. It’s great to see young businesses flourish and it makes us dumbo residents proud that our neighborhood helps make the magic happen.

if it walks like a jerk and talks like a jerk then probably the guy is probably “not even being a jerk”
