| January 29, 2008 |  View for printing |
Chris Sacca, the open wireless spectrum advocate who left Google Inc. last month to focus on early-stage investing, unwittingly got the blogosphere guessing this week about the identity of the first company he's backing as a full-time investor when he posted a help-wanted ad on his blog seeking a "Web Geek... for a startup -- in NYC."
While Sacca wouldn't tell us anything about the "edgy little content company" he's investing in (except that it is not David Karp's Tumblr Inc.), he shared his thoughts on what he's looking for in seed-stage tech firms. His early track record as an investor is promising -- his first private investment was in Photobucket Inc., which was acquired by MySpace.com parent company Fox Interactive Media Inc. in June for $300 million, including a $50 million earnout.
