Foursquare Gets Funding; Will Any Money Go To PR?

News broke yesterday that fast growing location services startup Foursquare had raised a $20 million funding round, valuing the company at $95 million. Foursquare says it now has 1.7 million users.

Despite the new funding, the company continues to operate as a scrappy startup in many ways. For example, its PR manager, Erin Gleason, also doubles as office manager.

We asked Gleason if any of the funding will be used to expand Foursquare’s marketing or PR department.
