Thanks for writing about us, GigaOM!

FYI – two corrections:

1. Our lead investors are Quest Venture Partners

2. We’re partnered with Furthur, which is Phil Lesh and Bob Weir from The Grateful Dead along with Jeff Chimenti, John Kadlecik, Joe Russo, Sunshine Becker, and Jeff Pehrson. They’re incredible (especially if you’re lucky enough to see them play live) and you can check out their site and tour schedule on http://www.furthur.net/

The Dead will always live on, man! It looks like they’re talking about Furthur — https://www.tripping.com/network/furthur/info

It’s a cool idea!

Wah? Huh? Wuw? Not only is this clearly just a press release, the Grateful Dead DON’T EXIST!! They’ve been disbanded since Jerry’s death in 1995. There’s been The Other Ones, the Rhythm Devils, Lesh & Friends, Weir & Ratdog, Further, other incarnations, and The Dead, but no one with any relationship with them would say the Grateful Dead. Most of these post-Grateful Dead incarnations are still active, but each are distinct — so I have no clue who this story is talking about. Did someone do some time traveling? Is Tripping tripping?
