Startup wins $5 million in funding.

Ok.. I think that this whole "millionaire" craze is getting out of hand. At Red Herring's Venture Market South converence, SingleShop.com walked away with $5 million in funding after competing against 44 other startup companies in a mock Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. At first I thought that they were asking at least relevant questions like "What is your business model?" (is that your final answer?), but they were just asking industry trivia.. Geez. I thought that the silly "marry a millionaire" was the extreme, but this is getting ridiculous.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
