General Catalyst Partners and I are hosting the Customer Development: The Second Decade on Tue, Oct 5 as part of FutureM.

This event is for:

• Entrepreneurs and CEOs who want to build capital-efficient businesses
• Geeks who want to be founders
• Marketers who want to find the right customers cheaply
• Angel investors and VCs who want to generate great returns

Backupify, a company I’ve worked closely with this year, just announced it has closed its Series A. The round was co-led by Rich Levandov from Avalon Ventures and General Catalyst founding partner David Orfao who invested in the seed round.

If you don’t use Backupify, you should definitely try it–it’s consumer offering is all about piece of mind. If you are a business using Google Apps then you should look at the company’s enterprise services.
