Bessemer, Spark Are In Like with OMGPOP

Wade Roush 3/11/09

New York-based OMGPOP, an online gaming and social networking destination for teens and twentysomethings that was known until recently as “I’minlikewithyou,” has raised $5 million in Series B funding, according to a report at PaidContent.org. The round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners, which has an office in Wellesley Hills, MA, and was joined by Spark Capital of Boston and Baseline Ventures of San Francisco. Spark partner Todd Dagres talked with Bob about I’minlikewithyou and the firm’s other new-media investments last September.
