PubliCola is a small local blog based in Seattle that was started by Josh Feit and Sandeep Kaushik.  The company has recently raised an undisclosed amount of funding from Rajeev Singh and Greg Smith.  PubliCola focuses on politics, music, film, and sports.  Its almost like a Huffington Post, but just for Seattle.

Kaushik has decided not to reveal how much funding was involved, but he stated that it was “significant” and will ensure that PubliCola will “be around for some time to come.”

Singh will be joining the Board of Directors as a result of the funding.  Other members of the advisory group includes Seattle PI editor Mark Matassa, Ben Beres, DJ Riz Rollins, and Linda Derschang.

A couple of executives at Concur Technologies has accidentally slipped in reporting their educational background.  Concur confirmed in company filings from 1998 to January 2007 that CEO S. Steve Singh did not actually graduate from the University of Michigan.  Singh did attend the school for some time though.

Although the CEO’s education was misrepresented, the company issued a statement stating that they have full confidence in Singh.

Steve Singh wasn’t the only board member that had incorrect education representation in the company’s documents.  His brother Rajeev Singh reportedly had a degree from Kettering University in Flint, Michigan in the S-1 for the company’s IPO.  However the company’s website indicated that Rajeev had a degree from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.

Concur Technologies is corporate travel and expense management company.  The company builds software for both of these services.
