Associated Content Gets $5.4 Million Funding

Associated Content, a Denver, CO-based online content exchange, has secured $5.4 million in first round funding. The funding was led by Softbank Capital.

Associated Content will use the funding to rapidly grow its user-driven information portal.

Eric Hippeau and Mike Perlis, both partners at SoftBank Capital, join the company board. Hippeau and Perlis join Ron Conway, Rich LeFurgy, and others on the board.

I am not exactly sure what the unique proposition for the company is…it is a portal for showcasing individual content producers, and provide information and stories on various topics…for now, the only business model seems to be AdSense.
