RALEIGH, N.C. - So, this really cool thing happened [Monday] … I witnessed the signing of paperwork, handing of check and shaking of hands signifying a new investment deal done.
It wasn’t on purpose. I promise that people don’t typically invite reporters into their conference rooms as they discuss promissory notes and cement the terms of a deal. But a serendipitous moment happened after I finished up a meeting at HQ Raleigh this afternoon—Justin Beard from SnapYeti and angel investor Mark Easley were just meeting up to close a $20,000 deal kicking off SnapYeti’s seed round. And they invited me to witness it.
Of course, I said yes. And I pulled out my iPhone to document the occasion.
The full report can be read online.
