From TechCrunch:
We got (at least) one thing wrong when we wrote about super-stealth search startup Cuill last week. We said we believed the company self funded after searching for venture capital. But we now have it from two solid sources that they actually raised a $4 million Series A round from Greylock Partners, with partner David Strohm taking a board seat.
Greylock is behind some of the biggest success stories of the new Internet, including Facebook, Digg, LinkedIn and others. Most of those investments are led by David Sze, however. Strohm only rarely seems to invest in the consumer sector.
This is very interesting since most of the research that I have found have stated that this is a “stealth” project. While much of the information being written around the company being relatively the same, it will be interesting to see what will come of this.
Is this another piece of monetary fodder for Google to gobble up from ex-Googlers like a prodigal son?
