This Dog Earned A Bone!

spacer I wanted to share here first some very big news. Earlier this month Dogster, Inc., the makers of Dogster.com and Catster.com closed a $1 million Angel investment. After running our communities for two and a half years, and being profitable since last July, we finally decided the time was right to add some outside resources to our momentum.

For our members and community, we will be able to offer more features sooner. We’ll still be the same passionate, supportive group, there will just be more of us offering more great services. In fact, video is now out of beta and instant messaging will soon be a free feature for everyone!

The Angel investors are made up of respected industry veterans and successful entrepreneurs who have already become hands-on advisors helping us to manage our business and servers. They all wanted to be a part of Dogster, Inc. because they see how hard we strive to make people happy and how seriously we take our business.

Tail thumps and kitty head butts all around!

    I just wanted to say again that we have the best community members in the world - both furry and human - and we plan to use this investment to continue to make a safe, fun, and rewarding place for all you to play. Lots of new stuff on the way!

    […] The Dogster crowd did a great job raising money and getting airtime for their angel round. However, one outlet elected to spin Dogster’s success in a way I find disappointing. To wit: What does it say about the boom in social networking Web sites that the latest one to attract outside investors is devoted not to singles or indie bands but to dogs? […]
