Good Data Raises Round, Leaves Cambridge

Good Data, a startup developing user-friendly, Web-based tools for analyzing business intelligence data, has raised an undisclosed amount of venture financing from Cambridge, MA-based Generaly Catalyst and Boston-area technology investor John Landry (an Xconomist), according to a March 12 report by Scott Kirsner. The company formerly had an office at the Cambridge Innovation Center, but has relocated its headquarters to San Francisco, according to Kirsner. Its engineering operations remain in Prague, in the Czech Republic. Good Data put together $2 million in seed money last summer using funds from founder and CEO Roman Stanek as well as Esther Dyson, Tim O’Reilly, and New York venture firm Windcrest Partners.

[Update, April 28, 2009: Good Data has confirmed the investment in a press release, and says the amount was $2.5 million, bringing the company’s total funding to $4.6 million.]

Between 2007 and 2014, I was a staff editor for Xconomy in Boston and San Francisco. Since 2008 I've been writing a weekly opinion/review column called VOX: The Voice of Xperience. (From 2008 to 2013 the column was known as World Wide Wade.) I've been writing about science and technology professionally since 1994. Before joining Xconomy in 2007, I was a staff member at MIT’s Technology Review from 2001 to 2006, serving as senior editor, San Francisco bureau chief, and executive editor of TechnologyReview.com. Before that, I was the Boston bureau reporter for Science, managing editor of supercomputing publications at NASA Ames Research Center, and Web editor at e-book pioneer NuvoMedia. I have a B.A. in the history of science from Harvard College and a PhD in the history and social study of science and technology from MIT. I've published articles in Science, Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Technology and Culture, Alaska Airlines Magazine, and World Business, and I've been a guest of NPR, CNN, CNBC, NECN, WGBH and the PBS NewsHour. I'm a frequent conference participant and enjoy opportunities to moderate panel discussions and on-stage chats.
