What Trada Has Been Up to Since Google Ventures?

So what has been Trada been up to since announcing Google Ventures invested in us? Turns out, it’s been a lot. But no worries. It’ll be easier to get up to speed on Trada than your favorite soap opera. And thankfully, unlike your fave soap operas no Trada employee has undergone SORAS.

This past week, Trada won a Boulder IQ award, which was very humbling. Especially, since the company following us came up with a way to quickly determine how much blood a patient has lost. If we haven’t said it lately, Trada really loves Boulder. This is our CEO Niel’s third startup in Boulder, which is directly correlated to how Boulder permeates awesomeness.

Nine members of the Trada team went to Search Engine Strategies. You can see our blog posts here if you didn’t get a chance to attend. Search, PR and the Social Butterfly; Successful Information Architecture; Search: Where to Next and a recap of Jeffrey Hayzlett’s keynote speech.

Trada sponsored a Search Engine Land webinar with Jeremiah Andrick (@jeremiah) of Logitech about demystifing your CPA, which you can watch on the Search Engine Land website. Trada also did a webinar on getting your holiday paid search campaign ready, and you can watch the recorded version on Vimeo. September is the perfect time to starting thinking about your holiday paid search.

Inc. Magazine listed Trada as one of 6 Cool Crowdsourcing Business Tools, which Tim Ferriss (@tferriss) linked to on his Facebook page. We’re big Tim Ferriss fans, and we think we align nicely with his philosophy behind the Four Hour Work Week. And The New York Times included us in the article Tapping The Wisdom of the Crowd. Our account Lee Rosen was quoted as saying “Really, it’s magical.”
