Kiosked - A Company to Watch - Just Announced New Round of $6.9M

Kiosked is a compelling new ad-tech company launched in Finland, but now with substantial new business operations in the U.S.  The company adds real immersive interactivity for meaningful and “value add” brand engagement (Venturebeat ran a feature story about the company yesterday which explains the overall consumer and marketeer value proposition very well).  I just watched a demo at the company’s LA-based offices the other day, and I liked what I saw.

Clearly, others do as well.  Blue-chip investors are behind this company, which announced a major new round of financing -- $6.9 million -- just yesterday.  Check out this “who’s who” list of major investors -- world-renown live event producer Kevin Wall (whose company, Control Room, produces some of the largest live events in the world -- including the Live Earth concerts), Kaj Head (who runs Rovio, the company behind “Angry Birds”), John Lindfors (of Digital Sky, an investment firm that was a major investor in Facebook, among others).

Definitely a company worth checking out -- and reflecting the continuing growing vibrancy of the LA digital media/ad-tech entrepreneurial scene.
