Congratulations to our own HubSpot for pulling down $12M in funding as reported on TechCrunch.  The Series B round led by Matrix Partners is in addition to the $5M the company raised last September in a round led by General Catalyst.

This may give the HubSpot team another reason to celebrate at tonight’s PopCocktail…I mean PopSignal event!

For the first 93Startup Profile, we start with the emblematic startup - the individual entrepreneur with an idea, some time and web hosting account. Also…Tom from Bizak was the first to submit a profile!

93Startup Profiles are submitted by the companies themselves. If you would like to have your startup profile on the site, please read this post.

What’s your elevator pitch?

Bizak is a business network which computes the profitability and valuation of Internet startups. Startups can compare their visitors, revenues, costs and valuation to their competitors and industry benchmarks. Investors use this analysis to discover new funding opportunities and professionals utilize Bizak’s traffic analysis to form new business partnerships.

Who is your target market?

Bizak’s geared specifically for Internet entrepreneurs and investors interested in funding their startups.

What makes you different or stand out?

Bizak is different from most web analytics firms in that if you tell us what your statistics are then we’ll tell you how you stack up against your competition.

Who are the founders?

Bizak is founded by Tom O’Keefe. Tom is the president of TOKiBiz, Inc. which helps entrepreneurs create profitably startups and will also launch infoMedMD in June.

What is your startup story?
(Where did the idea come from, inspiration, funny anecdote, etc., etc.)

I was a financial analyst out of college (BC) and I’m very familiar with the benchmarks used to analyze public companies. With Bizak I thought why don’t we create a benchmark to analyze and value internet startups?

Jon Radoff and the team over at GuildCafe (now in posh Central Square) announced another round of funding today and the launch of their new brand gamerDNA.  The new $3 million of funding was led by Flybridge Capital Partners.

The current GuildCafe.com site, a social network built to organizing groups within MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and Guild Wars, will still operate and continue to improve as the company focuses on building out the new gamerDNA service.

Congratulations!
