Local Q&A Site Hipster Raises $1M From Google Ventures, Lightbank, 500 Startups And More

Local Q&A startup Hipster has raised $1 million in seed funding from some prominent angel Valley investors including Mitch Kapor, Dave McClure/500 Startups, Lightbank, Google Ventures, Charles River Ventures, Max Ventilla, TechStars David Cohen and David Tisch, Google's Don Dodge, Paige Craig, Ludlow Ventures,�Lerer Ventures and others. Many of you best know Hipster as the startup that launched a thousand blog posts, having insane hype and a couple of acquisition offers before its SXSW launch. While Hipster's initial launch page had over 10K signups in its first few days of existence, the startup's actual user numbers for SXSW were at just over 4K for the entire three day period. Were you using Hipster during SXSW? I wasn't either.
