It’s been an eventful couple of weeks at ChubbyBrain and yesterday the momentum continued as we crossed the quarter century startup mark.  Yes, we crossed the 25,000 angel investor, venture capital backed startup mark further solidifying us as the largest free database of startups and investors on the web.  The movement which we began and which you’ve fully embraced and helped us to further started with our launch in February 2009 with just over 12,000 startups.

For those interested in some of our other activity in the last couple of weeks, here is a recap.

We came out with our Q2 ‘09 venture capital activity report which Dow Jones VentureSource confirmed 5 days later.  ReadWriteWeb also launched a Q2 VC Funding Report covering internet/mobile/SaaS report featuring their insighs and data by ChubbyBrain.

For those who are curious, the 25,000th company added onto ChubbyBrain was geo-contextual advertising firm, Lat49 (company website here), who recently raised a Series A investment round.

Also, special thanks to Vladimir Vilensky for his efforts to get numerous Russian and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) startups and investors onto ChubbyBrain.  Look for Vlad’s analysis of the Russian and CIS startup and investor landscape in the coming weeks.  Vlad saw a gap in our coverage of these markets and took the initiative to fill it again showing the power of the community in democratizing this information.  We’re thankful to Vlad and excited to further broaden the geographic scope of ChubbyBrain with the addition of these companies from Russia and the CIS.
