Newly public Internet companies are having a tough time on the stock market this fall, but that hasn’t stopped venture capitalists from making some big bets on start-ups.
Case in point: investors led by venture firm Andreessen Horowitz have just plowed $40 million into flash-sale website Fab.com Inc. The round values New York-based Fab.com at more than $200 million, people familiar with the matter said.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
