“We believe that consumers’ thirst for entertainment on the Internet has only just begun,” said Gary Zeidenstein, founder and veep of content acquisition. “The Internet is opening up new possibilities for independent entertainment creators and our mission is to provide them with the ultimate forum from which to be seen.”
In addition, the company received $5 million in an initial round of financing, according to Rosenberg. The funding was provided in part by Gruber & McBaine Capital Management and New Millennium Partners.
