Just a few years ago, having a web based personal assistant simply seemed to be a hype. But today one of them got $100 million in funding. The company called Rearden commerce has a product called The Rearden Personal Assistant which helps people find and purchase the services they need. These services include travel planning, dining reservations, package shipping, web conferencing, event tickets, and more. They also provides people with the tools they need to manage those services, like calendar and address book integration, email invites, and mobile alerts. The funding came from investors including JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) and American Express (NYSE: AXP) with participation from Oak Investment Partners and Foundation Capital.
