WiFi Bunny Maker Taps Banexi Ventures

Violet, the company behind the Wifi bunny known as Nabaztag, has raised an undisclosed amount of VC from Banexi Ventures. The Nabaztag is a bit of a phenomenon, where supply has not been able to meet demand, which is one reason the firm needed VC.

How the company describes the smart bunny:

Nabaztag means “rabbit” in Armenian. Violet’s Nabaztag is an object connected to the Internet via WIFI,
which reacts with sound, movement and colors to informations exchanged on the Web...[It receives and relays] market updates, weather forecast, traffic reports, email alerts and reading of emails (Nabaztag offers text-to-speech function), reading of RSS feeds from any online site, alarm-clock, broadcasting etc.
