Magnify.net Funded February 12, 2007 — 06:50 PM PST — by Pete Cashmore

Magnify.net, one of the video sharing startups that launched at DEMO, has raised $1.2 million in a first round of funding led by New York Angels and NextStage Capital. Other investors included Chris Anderson of the TED Conference, Active Angel Investors of Washington DC, and Stage 1 Ventures.

We didn’t write much about Magnify.net on launch day, but it’s essentially a quick way to build your own YouTube. Users can set up a site like amazingcheesevideos.magnify.net and instantly create a niche video site. You can also choose from templates or add your own css. Users can upload clips to these sites and you have a control panel to manage them - that should raise some interesting issues after Bolt.com found itself in trouble regarding copyrighted content.

I also get the sense (although I may be wrong) that Magnify is aiming for the long tail of the market: while other video platform providers seek partnerships behind closed doors, Magnify is open to all comers. That’s not to say they’re not pursuing higher profile clients, though: weather.com has a video section powered by Magnify. Ning seems to be a rival, as do VideoEgg, Vidavee and others. [MORE »]
