Thoughts on TechAviv and Outbrain’s recent $12 million B round
Filed under: Advertising, Industry pulse, Israeli Websites, Mobile Web, VC, Video, Web2.0
After watching some of the livestream of the TechAviv founder-investor’s meetup in Herziliyya last month and posting about it, I had the opportunity to attend the monthly meetup last Thursday and listen in person to Israeli startups, SundaySky, FlyScreen and HYPick present their technologies.
After SundaySky co-founder Yaniv Axen spoke about the company’s impressive dynamic video production technology, Gilad de Vries of Carmel Ventures, which recently led SundaySky’s $8 million A round, talked about what he looks for when considering funding a company. It can be assumed that de Vries and his colleagues applied these same things when Carmel Ventures agreed to lead news and blog recommendation engine, Outbrain’s $12 million B round that was announced this week.
Here is a video of de Vries’ presentation at TechAviv last week.
