PORTLAND INCUBATED COMPANY COLLECTS $24 MILLION
Cloud cost management startup Cloudability snagged $24 million from investors as it addresses the ever-growing amount of data its clients generate. The series B round was led by existing investor Foundry Group as part of the Foundry Group Select Fund, a pot of money used for follow-on investments from the group’s early stage investment activity.

A TWEETSTORM ABOUT VENTURE CAPITAL, RACISM, TECHNOLOGY, MONEY, AND LOVE
Used to be, back in the day, folks would blog. And sometimes, I’d take a snippet of those amazing blog posts and try to raise the volume a little bit. By posting on my own blog. But that doesn’t happen as much these days. Or when it does, it tends to happen on platforms that have their own volume mechanisms. But Portland founder Mara Zepeda just wrote something that I wanted to make sure that you saw. And so I’m trying to raise the volume a bit. Like we used to.
