TurnHere announced that it has secured $7.5 million in funding from Venrock and Hearst Interactive Media, a division of Hearst Corp.
Emeryville, Calif.-based TurnHere's online video
production and distribution platform powers the videos for sites like CitySearch and Simon & Schuster's Bookvideos.tv. Using a network of producers and proprietary content management tech, TurnHere
allows publishers to create and syndicate video content quickly and cost-effectively.
CEO Bradley J. Inman has said that the company will use the new funds to expand both its in-house and
contracted production teams, as well as to further the development of new tools like video search optimization technology.
