Tumblr Lands “Very Big And Competitive” Round From Sequoia

The NYC-based blogging startup’s founder David Karp and president John Maloney went out to the Valley looking for money last month, and it sounds like they came back winners. 

“I will say, it is nice to be well-received on the West Coast,” Maloney told us at the time.

Tumblr, a simple blogging platform, is now in an interesting spot

Congratulations to everyone at Tumblr, past and present.  I’m sure though that they bristle at being called “a simple blogging platform.”  They’ve built much more than that.  More than any other platform, Tumblr allows people to publish as they think.  Whether the thought I want to get out is shallow or deep, auditory or visual, evolutionary or revolutionary, Tumblr gives me the tools to express that thought faithfully.  The value of that quality cannot be overstated.
