New Web Site To Offer Youth A Lifestyle Destination, Or Some Buzzy Phrase Like That

Jeff Pollack and Benny Medina, partners in management and production company Handprint Entertainment, have launched Thirsty.com, a lifestyle network that will deliver information about what matters to youth in their chosen lifestyle preferences.

The company raised $10 million in its initial round of venture funding from Constellation Ventures and NorthStar Capital.

Launching July 2000, Thirsty will feature the latest content and news, refreshed over 20-40 times per channel per day, in top youth lifestyle categories ranging from pop, rock, punk, hip-hop and gothic to X-sports, wrestling, comic books/sci-fi and technology.

"We are committed to establishing an emotional relationship with our users through the delivery of the community, content and commerce that reflects their specific passions," said Pollack. "By identifying and reporting on trends relevant to our users, we enable them to enhance their lifestyle choices, online and off."
