outbrain funded

This morning we announced the closing of our seed financing. Among those who participated in the round are GlenRock Israel (www.grg.co.il), LGiLab (www.lgilab.com) - a joint venture between two VC's - Lightspeed Venture Partners and Gemini Israel, Sigma PCM (www.sigma-pcm.co.il), and private investors.

We're extremely grateful to those who believe in our team and vision, and couldn't have hoped for a better group of investors. The funding will be used primarily to grow our small team (we're hiring, btw...) and build outbrain into the leading blog/RSS ratings platform in the world.
