This was a Guy Kawasaki/Garage.com funded company if I remember right. I've got mixed feelings about some of the companies he's funded/promoted/started, though his books are interesting.

Yes it was. Kawasaki has had a long long list of misses since the first bubble..

Coghead raised a lot of money, in the order of $12M+. in the end, they didn't have a whole lot to show considering how crowded this space is and that they had raised more money than anybody else.

Could have funded 20-30 companies with those funds and probably found 2-3 winners.

They did spend a lot on PR/marketing - I know because their people were hitting me up all the time.
