Portero Raises 6.6 Million

I am happy to announce that Portero (http://www.portero.com/) has raised $6.6 million in funding. The round was led by LFE Capital (http://www.lfecapital.com/) joined by returning backers including Grosvenor Funds. TechCrunch (http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/02/19/portero-raises-66-million-round-for-online-luxury-goods-marketplace/) picked up the announcement early this morning and featured us on their home page. As I have a bit of an insiders view, I felt it was my place to provide a bit of insight into why Portero is such a great company.
