The Company Behind Friends For Sale Takes $4 Million
Serious Business, the company behind the Friends for Sale Facebook app, has taken $4 million in funding in a round led by Lightspeed Ventures.
Serious Business is run by former Powerset engineer Siqi Chen, and according to the companies website (likely in jest, but remember they just took $4 million):
“Serious Business leverages the core competencies of our world renowned team to create revolutionary new synergies which tap in to blue ocean markets in the social platform mashup internets. Serious Business will forever redefine the way we use the web – even the way we see life itself. The first decade of the internet was fun. This decade is going to be Serious.”
Their only product, Friends for Sale, has 799,952 daily active users according to Facebook. The Serious Business website mentions two other projects/ games being developed without providing details.
