With offices already in Omaha, Lincoln and Kansas City, MindMixer today announced it will take its civic engagement westward, looking to hire a small team in San Francisco. Nick Bowden, co-founder and CEO, wrote in the blog post that the startup is looking to grow “a small, core team of world-class designers, developers and data folk who are committed to improving civic life and hell-bent on building beautiful stuff.” In May, MindMixer wrapped up a $4 million Series B round of investment from Nelnet, Dundee Venture Capital and Optimas Group. — Source: Mix Blog
