Flingo gets USD7m for social TV

Wed Feb 8 2012, 09:24 AM

California-based startup Flingo has raised a USD7m Series A funding round, which it will use to add more devices and content to its second-screen social TV products. The company - also known by its business name of Free Stream Media Corp - creates set-top boxes that recognise broadcast network programmes and deliver supplementary content to smartphones, laptops, or tablets in the same room. Currently the most common option is seamless delivery of the programme's Facebook or Twitter page, but Flingo is working with media companies and brand sponsors to develop further personalised offerings and ads.
