The news is starting to hit the web: the online organizing start-up, NationBuilder, has raised $6.25m in VC funding to expand its political organizing platform. in an email to current users, NationBuilder Founder and CEO Jim Gilliam writes: 

“Honestly, I’m a bit dumbfounded by all that’s happened. I’m a geek who’s perfectly happy sitting in a room alone coding all day. But I also really, really believe that when we unlock the potential of a connected humanity, we will transform the world. And that starts with every one of us becoming leaders…apparently, even me.”

Here’s some of the early coverage in Forbes, Reuters,Financial Times, AllThingsD, and TechPresident.

What do you think? Is NationBuilder the future of online organizing?
