Red Bull Stratos is scheduled to launch today at 1:30pm! Felix Baumgartner will ride in a capsule carried by a balloon to an altitude of nearly 23 miles and then step out, falling face down and within 40 seconds becoming the first person to break the sound barrier without a vehicle. It will the highest, fastest, longest skydive ever attempted, breaking the records set by Joseph Kittinger in 1960 (using far less technology and no pressurized capsule).

Happy Anniversary, Tumblr.
Exactly five years ago today, we co-led the very first investment in Tumblr. The actual announcement of the round came several months later along with a product update blog post.
So much has changed since that time. For some context, when we backed the company, there was an iPhone but the app store didn’t exist. It was just two guys, ceo/founder David Karp and Marco Arment, working on the product. And it stayed that way until the next round some fifteen months later. They did it all renting a small corner of our friend Fred Seiberts office at the time. I can still remember the talks we had on that white couch and staring at all the soda cans Marco had stacked to hold up his monitor and keyboard.
It was an exciting time. Every day more users showed up. Creative content and communities were just being formed on the platform. And by the end of year 1, they signed up about 450k users. Today, that number is over 75million.
I’m so proud of how much this team accomplished and the quality of the team as they have grown from two people to over one hundred employees.
So happy anniversary Tumblr. It’s been a wonderful five years and I’m really excited about the next five.

Meet Jacob Bijani, Product Engineer, lives in Williamsburg, and refers to himself as “pretty boring” - we beg to differ. Jacob is afraid of heights, unaware of his model-potential, and met his girlfriend on OKCupid. Conclusion: pretty cool.
What’s your favorite store and do you primarily shop online or in-store?
Uniqlo. In store, except shoes from Zappos.What would you never wear?
Those harem pants.What is your favorite outfit on a girl? (Anoop’s is jeans and black turtleneck & Jovana likes a white tee and cropped jean shorts.)
Why did you give me your answers? You didn’t do that for any of the other questions. (OOPS.)Who is the best dressed man in the office?
Dom #menswear Butchello.Why/How would you use Dapprly?
I’m a little lost sometimes when it comes to dressing for formal events. I’m also normally going to those types of things with friends, so it sounds useful to get quick advice from people before I show up.Dapprly is a social men’s fashion app that helps you get advice from the friends you know and trust when you need it. Not sure of what to wear on a date? Ask your friends, and make sure you tell them what restaurant you are going to!
