Eric Eldon broke the news last summer about our Series A funding on VentureBeat.

How to publish on the web? Crowd Fusion, currently in stealth, is promising some fancy-sounding features like “Innovative content management, database management & performance evaluation/optimization tools” that has this web publisher interested in learning more.

Eric looked at the content management space -- from big blogging platforms to homegrown in-house projects and CMS vendors -- and said, "Somewhere, Crowd Fusion fits into this picture."

I'm also interested because of the people involved: The company was founded by seminal blog outfit Weblogs co-creator Brian Alvey, and just raised $3 million in funding from digital media-focused firm Velocity Interactive Group, Greycroft Partners and serial entrepreneur Marc Andreessen.

Those are some pretty savvy investors. We are psyched to be working with them.
