Smilebox.com Secures $7 Million in Funding

Smilebox today announced it has raised $7 million in Series B Financing. Smilebox will use the new funding to expand internationally and bring it to new platforms.

“Smilebox has pioneered the multimedia expressions category and establised a proven business model. The service combines technology and innovation with a strong focus on it’s ease of use,” said Rob Stavis at Bessemer Venture Partners. “We look forward to working with Smilebox and it’s partners to accelerate it’s growth.”

 

Smilebox makes it easy to connect with friends and family in a more creative and compelling way. Unlike other solutions that focus on organizing, editing, and sharing photos or sending pre-packaged ecards, the Smilebox online service enables users to create something truly powerful by choosing from hundreds of unique multimedia designs, easily personalizing them with their photos, video, music, words, and style, and then sharing them via email, blog, or print.

Smilebox creates a new category of service called “creative messaging,” which draws from related categories including photo services, scrapbooking and ecards; delivering a new medium for communication that is unparalleled in its ability to convey mood, thought and emotion.
