Foursquare Checks in $20M of Round 2 Funding

The funding ends very public jostling to fund or acquire the location-centric startup

Foursquare has landed a new round of $20 million in second-round venture funding, with Silicon Valley’s Andreessen Horowitz leading the new investment, AllThingsD reported Tuesday.
