Videolicious Raises $2.25 Million From Washington Post Company, Amazon.com, And The Knight Foundation

Funding Rounds

Summary

Videolicious, which makes an app that allows users to easily create videos from their mobile phones, has been working to get more adoption from businesses. To spur more of that growth, Videolicious has raised some additional funding to get more journalists using its video app. More than 100 newspapers, magazines, and TV stations have signed up in the last few months, getting their journalists to use the app to quickly create video news reports while out in the field. The app provides a simplified workflow for stitching together photos and videos and recording a voiceover on top. Another reason is that the company recently released some enterprise-style tools to make connecting the app and the videos made on it to existing content management systems.
