Search service Lijit Networks has secured over $900,000 in funding to help promote the launch of its “Personal Network Service” search product. The funding for the Boulder, CO-based start-up comes from an investment syndicate including Colorado Fund I, managed by High Country Venture. The other investors include Brad Feld, managing director of Foundry Group; Seth Goldstein, co-founder of AttentionTrust.org, Majestic Research and ROOT Markets; and Paul Berberian, former CEO of Raindance Communications. The syndicate is rounded out by investments from Lijit’s management team and angel investors.
Lijit’s Personal Network Search allows users to create a search engine that knows who they are, topics they blog about, their bookmarks, to whom and to which sites they are connected and makes all of that information searchable by their readers. Release
