The Forsyth Group – Executive Search

Since our Seedcamp investment in October 2008 we’ve watched Vladimir and the team at uberVU go from strength to strength. Closing funding rounds with Eden Ventures, closing impressive partnership deals with Nielsen, winning impressive customers like PayPal and building out their team in the US market.

We worked with the founders to hire their CEO Mark Pascarella and since then the company has continued on their hockey stick trajectory. uberVU has launched the new version of Signals and moved to the Cambridge Innovation Center  in Kendall Square to take advantage of the talent, funding opportunities and entrepreneurial energy in the area and the company plans to quadruple employees this year.

We are looking forward to watching the company continue to power ahead and take a leadership position in the social media monitoring space.

Rosemary and Brett attended The Next Web conference in Amsterdam on April 26^th and 27th.

On the geek side Robert Scoble’s talk on the future of technology was fascinating as was CEO of Evernote Phil Libin’s Keynote.

The star of the event however was Klara, the very well behaved cow, who took the leading role in www.dungville.com a clever twist on the Million Dollar Home Page. Users were asked to click on three squares in the virtual field where you thought Klara would drop her cow pat.

Congratulations are due to Nuji one of our Seedcamp portfolio companies won the Best Web App award at the event.
