Pre-launch Movie Care-Taker Marquee Raises $15M From Benchmark

Santa Clara's Marquee - aka Vvond - has raised $15M in Series B funding, according to a PE Wire. The round was led by Benchmark Capital with return backer Greylock Partners. The stealth mode company makes software for secure on-demand access to a large movie library. At this point we are not sure, and maybe they are not either, if this is a consumer play or if they will back-end service providers like Netflix. Given the investors, we suspect they are gearing up for a consumer campaign. Our imagination sees them as something like an online file storage service, except that Marquee would allow you to search and call up from movies that you have bought.
