    See Seesmic Seize Cash

    By Mark Evans | February 13, 2008

    Seesmic, the video-service that Loren Feldman loves to hate, has raised $6-million.

    That’s a big accomplishment given the video market is ultra-competitive and Seesmic is trying to jump-start the rather strange idea of having video conversations. But what’s more impressive is the list of investors. It’s like an all-star team featuring players from Web 1.0 and Web 2.0:

    * The lead investor is Atomico - a group founded by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis.
    * Michael Arrington - Founder, TechCrunch
    * Steve Case - Co-Founder and former CEO and Chairman, AOL
    * Jeff Clavier - Managing Partner, SoftTech VC
    * Ron Conway - Early investor, Google
    * Steve Garfield - video blogger
    * Dan Gillmor - Director, Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship
    * Reid Hoffman - Founder, LinkedIn
    * Michael Parekh - Managing Director, Goldman Sachs
    * Mark Pincus - Co-Founder and former Chairman and CEO, SupportSoft
    * Ariel Poler - Founder and former CEO, IPRO and Topica
    * Jeff Pulver - Chairman and Founder, Pulver.com
    * Martin Varsavsky - Founder, FON
