DISQUS

VentureBeat: Slideshow creator Animoto syncs business model with traffic, raises $4.4M

    Is there something wrong with the figures? 750,000 million is heck of a lot of users...at US$4.4m, would be the largest steal (investment-wise) in the world. Do check the figures out!

    i agree with motochan, 750.000 mio users seems almost impossible

    I believe there is a typo in the article - its actually 750,000 users.

    Hey guys, yeah, that was a typo. Fixed it.

    Wait, they have 75,000 paying customers @ $249 a year? My calculations put that over $18M annually. Why give up more equity for a mere $4.4M?

    There is a cheaper deal.... 30$ was what I paid, I think.

    It's neat but it palls after a while. For me anyway. Slideshows seem to end up a bit samey.

    We used Animoto for a product trailer and it turned out awesome. People keep asking me how much did we spend on it.
