Microsoft Corp Dev Exec Bails, Raises Angel Round For Hot Stealth Startup

Microsoft Senior Director of Corporate Strategy and Acquisitions Fritz Lanman quit his job a few weeks ago. I heard rumblings about this and assumed he'd be focusing an angel investing full time - for the last couple of years he's done it as a part time hobby. But nope, that's not what he's doing. He's started a new company that's creating a "social utility" mobile application called 5Star. And he's raised somewhere around $1 million in an angel round from first tier angel investors, says a source.
