New Freestyle Portfolio Company Looking for Shared Space

molly — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 17:18:49 +0000

Brand new Freestyle portfolio company, Seesaw, is looking for space for six desks for the next 3-6 months. This is our second venture with Freestyle. Our first was CoTweet (Freestyle’s first exit!). We’re actively looking for space now in soma, mission, potrero hill and hayes valley areas. Ideally with a shower, but not a deal breaker if not. Anyone have extra space you’d like to sublease to us? If so, please email me: jesse@seesaw.co. Thanks!

Adstage Launches First Product

molly — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:52:37 +0000

Adstage first product is a cross-network ad analytics and insights dashboard. If you have online ad campaigns running today (AdWords, adCenter, LinkedIn & Facebook), link them up to the AdStage dashboard and view:

Key performance metrics side by side
Demographic information
Geo-targeting information
Your keywords / Recommended keywords
Recommended Facebook and Linkedin groups
Your high and low performing ads / Ads from similar companies
We also provide cross-network budget allocation recommendations (to help you decide if you want to spend on other networks)

You can read more about our first product here: http://adstage.io/#product

We are in private beta, which is entirely free, and we’d love to have a few more folks, who have at least 1 active ad campaign, give the dashboard a go. Our first customers have a lot of influence on how we build this product out as well as our next.

So far we are working with awesome companies like ReTargeter, Betabrand, Zozi, Solve Media and more.

Get in touch directly at sahil@adstage.io if you’d like an invite to the private beta.

Welcome!!!

Freestyle has launched this new blog (which will only be accessible to our portfolio companies) where we will be posting trusted referrals, discounts and other news we’d like to share. By the end of the day today you will be receiving an email from Feedburner on Freestyle’s behalf, inviting you to participate and contribute to our InnerCircle Blog. Please confirm your email and let the magic begin!

One last thing, since this is still a new feature, please let us know if you have any feedback (positive or negative).

New Relationship with Apple

molly — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 19:42:13 +0000

We’re excited to announce another great resource for our portfolio companies to leverage: a direct relationship with Apple Business. Your new relationship with Apple is intended to help you focus on making your product or service just right vs. worrying about how to on-board, buy, deploy, or service your technology.

The Apple Business team is a local resource (with counterparts globally) that have helped startups solve for the various pain points that will inevitably occur during this growth phase.

Each of your relationships with Apple Business will be different, based on the type and needs of your company. Some recent examples of their work with startups include, but are not limited to:

Working in the Apple ecosystem
Technical expertise and support
Beta/QA testing
Access to team 7 days/week
Preferred pricing
International procurement and support

The fastest way to engage this team (non-commissioned) is to email sanfranciscobusiness@apple.com and reference Freestyle Capital! (You can also call @ 415.477.6208.) The team will reach out immediately to set you up in Apple’s global relationship management system and schedule a call to learn about what you’re working on and where you’re going. A couple of our founders, Dan Martell (Clarity.fm) & Ray Chin Ching Chan (9Gag), have begun working with the guys at Apple and have found them to be very helpful so far!

Let us know how it goes! We want to ensure that both you and the team at Apple are having a great time working together.
