Israel's Gigya Raises $4M From Benchmark For Rich Email

gigya logo.gif
E-mail start-up Gigya has raised $4N from Benchmark Capital in its first round. Gigya was founded in November 2006 by several former employees of big league adware company Hotbar, which was bought by 180solutions. At this point, we don't know if this will be adware supported or banner ad supported. We are guessing the latter.

Gigya's software inserts games, video clips and graphics into e-mails in a way similar to Hotbar’s product. Users can include personal pages from MySpace in e-mails. To get started, Gigya imports your contacts from Gmail, Hotmail, etc.
