How Much They Got From VCs:

Mint, the fresh,easy and intelligent way for people to manage their money online,
today announced that the company closed $4.7 million in Series A financing in
a round led by Shasta Ventures, and including First Round Capital and a
group of prominent individuals, including Ram Shriram, early investor
and founding board member of Google, Inc. Since announcing its public
beta on September 18, 2007, Mint has signed 50,000 users, organized over $1 billion in user transactions and identified nearly $40 million in savings opportunities.

Mint also announced that it has added two senior executives to the
company's management team. Donna Wells joined as chief marketing
officer. Ms. Wells was previously vice president of corporate marketing
and acting CMO at Intuit and senior vice president of marketing at
Expedia. Ms. Wells has also held senior marketing positions at Charles

How Is Market For Mint?...
The market potential for Mint is strong. Over 65 million people in the
U.S. use online banking to keep track of their finances today. But since
the average American has more than four bank relationships, it's
virtually impossible for them to get to a complete view of account
balances and spending. Others purchase and try desktop software
packages, but struggle with the lengthy setup process and hours of
tedious data entry that they require. Mint's refreshing value
proposition provides a clear, comprehensive and always-current picture
of all of a user's spending, effortlessly. And it offers intelligent,
personalized suggestions to save and earn more money, as well.
