No End in Sight for Video Startup Funding

Mozilla granted $100,000 to the Participatory Culture Foundation, makers of the Democracy (soon to be Miro) Player, a non-denominational desktop video feed application.

Though the software’s still a bit buggy, it’s still serving a need that nobody else is filling well, so it’s good to see the non-profit get funded to make things better. PCF had previously raised money from venture capitalist Andy Rappaport’s Skyline Public Works.

Click to See Media raised $8 million from Steamboat Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, and Sequoia Capital China. The company makes a technology platform for in-stream video ads. We’re scheduled to talk to them later today.

Asset.tv is doing a joint venture with Informa Investment Solutions to make on-demand video online video content for the “trust, wealth, and investment communities.” Sounds like Wallstrip, having shown it’s worth a few million bucks to CBS, has some new competition.

Also, Joi Ito says a Rocketboom-like news service has launched in Japan, called Slasla News.
