XooXooX Receives Seed Round Investment October 2, 2008 During these days of general market instability some investors have chosen to diversify their portfolio by taking a calculated risk on an up and coming Web 2.0 start-up, XooXooX (say zooks-zooks). “This investment is a vote of confidence in our company. The feedback from our Alpha testers has helped to accelerate our product development,” says Teresa Murdock, XooXooX’s Chief Marketing Officer. An investor comments, “The markets are shaky and it looks like this may be the situation for some time to come. Our thinking is ‘why not invest a portion of our money in a start-up venture that expects to have large growth over the next five years?’ ” “This investment will allow XooXooX to expand its limited trial service already in progress and begin production service early next year,” says XooXooX’s Chief Executive Officer and Cofounder Scott McGregor.
