Vivox: "Never Die While Typing Again!"

Vivox sells a voice interaction platform so that when you are blasting away at some terrorists you have trapped in a cave you can trash talk them. The firm's value prop to gamers is "Never Die While Typing Again!"

Social networks and other communities can also use Vivox. You can see Vivox at work in the game PokerManager as well as in Pixel Mine's FireTeam: Reloaded, Wizards of the Coast and in Second Life.

Founded by VoIP omni-presence Jeff Pulver, Framingham, MA-based Vivox has just closed $7.8M in Series B funding led by Benchmark Capital and joined by return backers Canaan Partners and GrandBanks Capital.
