YardBarker is Kicking Some Ass
I wrote last August about the launch of Yardbarker, a social-media sports site created by my friends Pete Vlastelica and Jack Kloster (along with Jack’s brother Jeff and Mark Johns). This week Yardbarker announced additional financing from such notables as Russell Siegelman, Ron Conway, Steve Blank, and several others.
I have worked with Pete and Jack on a previous startup effort, and I can say that Yardbarker is a business that comes from the heart. They were kind enough to let me write a case about their very early days as part of my post-graduate gig at UC Berkeley this year, so I can’t help but give them a little link love.
