Meebo, Dogs & Cats, and Mass Hysteria

Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, biblical?
Ray: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor… real Wrath-of-God-type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies.
Venkman: Rivers and seas boiling!
Egon: 40 years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanos.
Winston:The dead rising from the grave!
Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats, living together… mass hysteria!
– Ghostbusters (1984)

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats, living together … Meebo really was funded by Seqoia Capital.

More seriously, assuming the pre-money price being bandied about is correct, kudos to Mike Moritz and the folks at Sequoia. This is a hugely ballsy move, one that reinforces the firm’s position as an alpha predator in venture capital.
