The round was led by Trilogy Equity Partners, with participation from existing investors Madrona Venture Group and Rudy Gadre and new investor Founders Co-op. In conjunction with the funding, Mikal Thomsen, Co-founder and Partner at Trilogy Equity Partners , and former President and COO at Western Wireless Corporation, joined Jobaline.com’s Board of Directors.
