Has Nick Grouf, the CEO of advertising startup Spot Runner, spent too much time in Los Angeles? That's the only reason I can think of for his company's investment in 60Frames, an online-video product and distribution startup. It's especially odd that Spot Runner, which only recently raised some venture capital itself, is putting its own investors' dollars into the deal. Grouf recently told me that he missed the Bay Area, that he only located in Spot Runner to make use of the area's video talent to produce his company's library of commercials. But now I'm wondering if he hasn't gone Hollywood for good.
