Today the Berlin-based company Loopc.am - the GIF-sharing platform - revealed details of its seed financing round. In the financing round the founders of Concise Software join a syndicate of premier angel investors: Stefan Glaenzer (Last.fm, Passion Capital), Alexander Ljung and Eric Wahlforss (SoundCloud), Heilemann Ventures (Daily Deal), Christophe Maire (Txtr), Felix Petersen (Amen), and Peter Read.
Here are parts of the press release:
Loopc.am is a new way for people to express themselves and share moments in short GIF-based video clips called loops — and has been dubbed both the “Twitter of Video” and “Instagram for animated GIF’s”.
Loopc.am captures a series of frames through an iPhone or iPad camera stop-motion style, which is seamlessly and quickly merged into an animation to share. This has obvious and addictive appeal to anyone who loves visual interaction – and is the perfect compromise between still photographs and video.
The company, established in 2011 by founder Tor Rauden Källstigen, is today updating its web platform to engage more users and fuel the popularity of its fun and easy to use iOS app which enables quick capture and sharing of GIF-loops.
The Loopc.am iOS already has a strong fan base all over the world including celebrity users, for example musical producer Jermaine Dupri declared his love to fast food through a loop last weekend. The community is spread globally, but has most aggressive growth in the US, Sweden, UK and Germany.
