About six weeks ago, one of our TechStars teams this summer called J-Squared Media launched the Sticky Notes Facebook app. Sticky Notes took off like a rocket and has just crossed the one million user mark today. This has made J-Squared Media immediately profitable - they’ve signed interesting ad deals with several ad networks and it’s paying off for them quite nicely. It’s been said that a Facebook user is worth at least $0.30, and J Squared has data and impressive early revenues showing this is actually quite conservative.
