If I had to guess, I'd say I smell a Smirnoff TeaParty sponsorship brewing... Wouldn't it be great to be the Biz Dev guy (or gal) on that deal? Great coverage as always, Matt.

Yelp, the US website has just taken a further $10 million in Series B funding from Benchmark Capital. The company had already received as much as $6 million in a previous round from Bessemer Venture Partners.

It used to be my job to throw elaborate dot com parties back in 1998. We had everyone from Elvira, Matt & Trey (Southpark creators) and Tim Burton alongside a sea of free booze and schwag. I remember hiring fire eaters and contortionists. Nevermind that the piles of money were all imaginary - the women were all real and some of the friendships were too. It's Revenge of the Nerds, baby - bring it on! Um … this is nothing new. It used to be my job to throw elaborate dot com parties back in 1998.
