Connected Ventures party busted by cops
"It's not a new thing. Two months ago, we had a party, and I beat up five cops and threw their bodies out the window." So said freshly fired Vimeo cofounder Jakob Lodwick when police officers broke up the Connected Ventures holiday party. Unknown at this time is the aftermath of the officers' visit or the reason why the cops were called. (Noise? One hopes there's more to it than that.) Also unknown: the level of awkwardness created by the Lodwick's abrupt exit from Connected Ventures, the IAC-controlled startup which runs Vimeo and CollegeHumor. Facebook sales director Kevin Colleran captured the video of Lodwick's comments as the party got shut down.
