[quote]preadsheets That Truly Excel

The Investor: Amanda Reed, partner, Palomar Ventures

What she’s backed: Attensity, Edgewater Networks

What she wants now: A Web-based platform to make company spreadsheets–for revenue forecasting and other analytical chores - more easily viewed, updated, and shared by managers.

What she’ll invest: $5 million for a team of five engineers to create a prototype in less than two years
