Vokle, a web-based video communication platform, announced today that it has closed a $767K round of seed funding. The round was led by Tech Coast Angels, Sierra Angels, Grammy-nominated singer Imogen Heap, Rafe Furst, and various private investors. The round was the second part of a $200K angel investment the startup closed at the end of last year (led by the same investors), and adds to the $300K of seed capital it raised back in 2008, bringing Vokle's total funding to $1.26 million. The startup will be using its most recent funding to continue building and scaling its user base, to step up hiring efforts, and to finish its move into new, larger office space in downtown Santa Monica, CA. Vokle is a live, web-based video talk show platform that enables you to interact with your audience in realtime. And if that doesn't get you, the cool thing about Vokle is that it's a microsite, or an app if you prefer, so you can embed it anywhere, like a YouTube video. Obviously, Vokle isn't a destination site, so you can add it to your website to give your visitors a one-stop experience, rather than redirecting to Vokle's homepage, which gives a little boost to those user-retention/bounce stats.
