Richard Wolpert sighting at Ranah Edelin’s company

A friend of mine from PointCast, Ranah Edelin, has been at Listen.com for many years; he’s currently VP of Biz Dev. They’ve been shopping for cash fairly desperately, and have just landed funding from RealNetworks. Lo and behold, Richard Wolpert (who I really only know /of/ via Deeje, Ando, Opie and the rest of my buds from ACD) gets the quote on the financing, LOL!

“This investment demonstrates RealNetworks’ commitment to bringing our advanced technology to consumers, and signifies our belief in the promise of a legitimate market for digital music,” Richard Wolpert, executive strategic advisor at RealNetworks, said in a statement.
