Polaris’s Consumer Internet Practice

The Consumer Internet is a key focus area for Polaris. Some early successes in the first generation of Internet companies included Classifieds2000 (sold to Excite) and Exchange.com (sold to Amazon).

More recently, we have led investments in companies that are defining the emerging social web and digital media, including Automattic (the company behind WordPress), Quantcast, LOLApps, Thing Labs, JibJab, Modelinia, Athletes’ Performance, Hangout.net and Turbine Entertainment. We also have led investments in successful E-commerce players including Art.com, Legalzoom, Living Proof and Ice.com.

As with our other areas of Investment, Polaris actively invests both at seed and growth stages. For example, Polaris led seed rounds for Automattic and more recently seed-backed former Blogger and Google exec Jason Shellen. In addition, Polaris operates the Dog Patch Lab at Pier 38 in San Francisco to help early founders conceive and launch web startups.

    Mission to put some fun back into the social lives of people that have my hobby. This is my civil right that is being taxed.

    Our mission is to have this for profit corporation open private clubs bought with the funds raised through our stocks. These private clubs are member only and can only be accessed by members that are stock owners and yearly members.

    Mission to be buying prime real estate near the city near you, like hotels and restaurants. These smoking only private clubs will sell your brand of smokes at great discounts. Single purchase as well.

    This is the last straw. I have put up with this too long. I will not take this any longer.
    Will show you how to avoid the click it and ticket laws in your own space of your car.
