Betaworks is an Internet media company with a number of investments in three categories: the now web (real-time), the context web (structured data), and the social web (social media).
The company is different than a traditional venture capital firm in that it operates as a stock company with shareholders and not a firm with limited partners.
The company was the original investor in Summize, the social media search engine that was acquired by Twitter in 2008. (The company is now a shareholder in Twitter.)
The company often co-invests with NYC-based Union Square Ventures and Boston-based Spark Capital.
Chartbeat is a real-time analytics and uptime monitoring service from Betaworks. It is the preferred analytics solution for blogging platforms like Typepad and is used by some of the largest sites on the web, including mahalo.com.
In contrast to traditional analytics which concentrate on understanding and optimizing usual behaviour, chartbeat is concerned with identifying unusual behaviour as it happens in order to exploit or mitigate it. Alerts to email, SMS or Iphone push notification tell you when something is happening and you can then access a real-time dashboard from the web or your iphone to see what’s really going on.
