Facebook Has No Plans to Continue fbFund

Facebook’s in-house business incubator and mini financier, fbFund, appears to be mothballed. After two years of funding companies building on Facebook’s developer platform, the program’s success has been dwarfed by the massive new social gaming market, and by the growing ecosystem of marketing service companies around its performance advertising and Page products.

After noticing that the company has been completely quiet about fbFund plans so far this year, we asked it about its plans. “At this time we have no plans for future iterations of the program,” a company spokesperson tells us, “but we will keep you posted as soon as we have anything new to share.”
