    myYearbook Growing Nicely in Our Own Back Yard

    by on February 27, 2010

    I’m always happy to read about local companies growing and expanding…even if they’re not a startup anymore.  According to Mashable, “myYearbook Revenue at $20 Million Annually and Growing“.  Certainly fantastic news for CEO Geoff Cook, First Round Capital and New Hope, PA.

    Some highlights from the Mashable post:

    • 20 million members
    • one of the top 30 most trafficked websites in the U.S.
    • the company ended 2009 with an annual revenue run rate of $20 million (meaning its revenue for the most recent 12 months) — up 70% from 2008
    • in the works is deeper Facebook Connect integration, as well as mobile applications that extend some of the site’s social networking and gaming aspects to iPhone and Android

    I heard Geoff speak at the most recent PSL Founder Factory event and remember when they were just starting up.  I’m excited about the company’s growth and thrilled that they’re located in our own back yard.
