Viigo Secures First Round of VC Financing
Viigo is excited to announce that it has closed its first round of Venture Capital. The round was lead by Ventures West, a private venture capital investment group that is one of Canada’s leading investors in early stage technology companies.
Ted Anderson, President of VW and member of Viigo’s B.O.D. noted, “Migrating content and services to mobile devices has historically been a very challenging task for publishers and service providers. Viigo has developed a groundbreaking solution to this problem.”
While our Channel Library currently offers free access to some of life’s useful content - Traffic Alerts, Weather Reports, Local Event Listings, Package Tracking, etc. - over the next few months we plan to unveil a broader range of even more compelling services, further unshackling you from the chains of your desktop. We can’t wait to show you what we have in store.
“The rise of the Smartphone has created an unprecedented opportunity for the delivery of powerful and useful services to the palms of people’s hands,” said Mark Ruddock, President and CEO of Viigo. “Although this potential remains largely unrealized, Viigo is poised to change that.”
We’d like to send out a big heart-filled thank you to our current users, whose continued support, passion and engagement drives us to create the most compelling mobile internet experience on the planet… THANK YOU!
As always – please send your ideas, feedback, comments and suggestions to ‘feedback (at) viigo (dot) com’ – and be sure to send Viigo to all your friends. ;~)
