FightMe, An App That Lets You Challenge Others Through Video, Picks Up $1.35M In New Backing
Apparently, there’s still life in the old social video dog yet. FightMe, an iOS app that lets you challenge others by recording and sharing 30 second-long videos, has raised a further, modest seed round of funding.\nNew backing comes from VC firm HTG Ventures, Daniel and Raphael Khalili (who also invested in Yahoo-acquired Summly), and David Reuben Junior of Reuben Brothers, who, together, have put $1.35 million into the London-based started. This adds to the $500,000 FightMe raised back in October 2013.\nDescribed as a “social video network” designed to showcase any talent or opinion, the iOS app (with Android pegged to follow) lets you post your own 30-second, unedited videos, and add appropriate hashtags so that others can browse and discover your videos. They can then choose to respond with a similar themed video, as well as follow you, or share your video. "asdasdasd"
