Vibe Capital to launch a new vertical this week
Vibe Capital, the advice-opedia company (I am a co-founder of) has a heavy duty social advice-opedia platform aptly called the “vibEngine”. We aim to add some “vibe” into certain consumer markets and our strategy has been to leverage off the current “vibEngine” API that powers Minti. The second vertical currently in private beta, will now power another “mass market audience” and bring Web 2.0 software to those who aren’t currently serviced with it.
We can’t disclose yet what market yet, but here’s an update on Vibe Capital.
- Minti is the first wholly owned vertical for parents
- Second wholly owned vertical to launch this week sometime
- Vibe Capital secures a pure licensing agreement with a San Francisco company
- Vibe Capital’s first equity partnership with Building In London
- Vibe Capital secures a second equity partnership in an exciting new and under-serviced market
- Vibe Capital raises funds to buy a strategic stake in their technology partner and digital agency, Market United
Stayed tuned for the launch release on the new vertical :0)

Usability wasn’t as strong, but we did get one more star than Yahoo! Answers for our efforts, so very happy and honored to even be anywhere near the name Yahoo! Answers.
