MeeVee Adds More Cash

MeeVee, an online TV guide startup, has raised $3.5 million in Series D funding, as first reported by Private Equity Hub. The report was based on a regulatory filing that listed Bay Area Equity Fund, Defta Partners, FCPR Israel Discovery Fund, Labrador Ventures, Rothschild Ventures, and WaldenVC as backers of the company.

MeeVee CEO Michael Raneri confirmed the details of the round via email, explaining, “We needed a little more cash to complete an initiative that we are not ready to discuss quite yet.” MeeVee has now raised about $23.5 million in total funding.

This week MeeVee started to roll out a new portion of its site devoted to browsing and discovering video content, “kind of like Joost but without a download,” as Raneri described it in a recent interview.

The new video hub expands on the listings and prospective search functions the startup had previously offered for both television and online video. Burlingame, Calif.-based MeeVee offers paid content from Amazon Unbox based on Amazon’s (AMZN) recently unveiled widgets, and will soon offer CBS (CBS) shows as well.
