Everything You Want To Know About The Most Secretive Startup In The World (Next Jump)

In the annals of stealth startups, Next Jump http://www.nextjump.com/ deserves its own chapter. It’s not often that a company can build a large and successful business for 15 years, raise $45 million in venture capital, hire 225 people, and sign up 60 percent of the Fortune 500 as customers without anybody ever hearing about it. Yet that is exactly what Next Jump did until the first story ever written about the company appeared in the New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/06/business/06unboxed.html last month. The $45 million came over the course of 8 rounds and all from angel investors, including early Google investor Ram Shriram and Deutsche Bank asset management chief Kevin Parker (who are both board members).
