With the iOS app ‘s most recent update, due to roll out any day (minute?) now, INTRO is adding features that will allow members of groups to connect with each other, even going so far as to shut off networking with people outside of their preferred groups.

The stories have been amazing, but one of the most incredible tales of growth and success I’ve yet to hear lies with Redbeacon . The company first won top prize at TC50 in 2009, and has since gone on to raise a $7.4 million round led by Mayfield Fund and Venrock (purely bootstrapped up until then), and ultimately found themselves in the midst of an acquisition by Home Depot . . . . → Read More: From TC50 Winners To A $7.4M Round And A Home Depot Acquisition, Redbeacon Tells All |
