  • First Institutional Round of $8 million

    January 5th, 2009 No comments

    SundaySky Ltd., a revolutionary digital video generation solution provider announced today that it has completed an $8 million Series A round of funding led by Carmel Ventures and Globespan Capital Partners. Avi Zeevi, General Partner of Carmel Ventures and Jonathan Seelig, Managing Director of Globespan Capital Partners have joined the Companys board of directors.

    Founded in 2006, SundaySky provides real time, personalized and automatic generation of video for e-commerce, social networks, news and entertainment web sites. SundaySkys platform enables websites to automatically convert their content into dynamic, continuously updated, high quality video clips. SundaySky enabled websites to significantly increase the appeal of their content, stickiness of their site and their conversion rates while creating a significant inventory of video ads.

    SundaySkys CEO, Mr. Shmulik Weller, said that this round of investment will allow the company to rapidly expand its marketing, sales and business development activities mainly in the US while continuing to develop its product line. “The effectiveness of video on the web and its growing need, open great opportunities for SundaySky”, said Weller, “and we are thrilled to have investors like Carmel and Globespan who have proven track records in this field.”

    “Video is becoming the most important and fast growing form of web media. said Mr. Avi Zeevi of Carmel Ventures. “We found SundaySky to have a unique combination of an outstanding founding team and a breakthrough technology which can change the way video content is created.

    Jonathan Seelig of Globespan said: When I first saw SundaySkys technology, I had the same feeling that I had when I was shown my first dynamically generated web page a full decade ago. At the time, I thought that dynamic web pages would revolutionize the web and they did. SundaySky is in a position to do the same thing for web video content.
