Talking Point$ Memo

July 6, 2009

TPM is getting its first outside funding: an injection of between $500,000 and $1 million that comes courtesy of ur-entrepreneur Marc Andreessen. The money will come, TechCrunch reports, from Andreessen himself, rather than his new venture fund Andreessen Horowitz–with the total rounded out by funding from other, as-yet-unnamed angel investors.
