SlideShare has raised $3M in series A funding led by Venrock. SlideShare is a site and service for sharing presentations. The site claims to be one of the biggest ruby on rails sites in the world. It has offices in San Francisco and New Delhi. SlideShare had raised angel funding from the cool kids in the Valley: Hal Varian (chief economist at Google); Guy Kawasaki, founder (Garage Technology Ventures); Ross Mayfield (Socialtext); Dave McClure Marc Cuban (Dallas Mavs owner); Jonathan Abrams (Friendster) and Saul Klein (The Accelerator Group). We have heard people wonder outloud what gives with Slideshare? It couldn't be eaiser to port PowerPoint slides to the Net. True enough but its also very easy to run Flash movies on the Net but that hasn't stopped dozens of companies from getting crazy traffic. Slideshare has an advantage in that slides are low bandwidth and less expensive to host than video and we can see advertisers paying good money to appear next to business presentations.
