Founded in 2012 by journalist and author Sarah Lacy, Pando operates an online media platform that publishes news, fireside interviews, and in-depth articles about technology startups. The site is staffed by reporters including David Holmes, Michael Carney, Cale Weissman, Carmel DeAmicis, and James Robinson. Pando’s core product is its digital publication, which aims to be a leading voice on the tech and venture capital landscape. With the new capital, the company plans several growth initiatives, such as acquiring NSFWCORP, forming a joint venture with LaunchTN to co-produce Southland, an annual tech conference, and purchasing the Pando.com domain. Prior to the current round, the company had secured $2.5 million from a roster of prominent investors including Marc Andreessen, Tony Hsieh, Greylock Partners, Redpoint Ventures, and others. Pando’s strategy centers on expanding its media footprint and event presence within the startup community. No operating metrics such as revenue or user numbers were disclosed in the article.
