Filed in archive Venture Capital on February 9, 2005
SiliconBeat hints me to a Wavemarket that just raised 9.4 million from Draper fisher Jurvetson and BlueRun Ventures.
"(1) Crunkie --- a location-aware mobile social network that allows friends to locate each other as well as share location-tagged blog posts.
(2) Map.Me --- a mobile phone map interface that allows users to pan/zoom and experience dynamic mobile city guides.
(3) WaveAlert --- server that allows users to be notified whenever they enter or leave a designated area. This is called "proximity-based" alerts. You can set "geofences" around important assets or be notified if your friends are nearby."
