Animoto: The online video slideshow compilation service got $4.4 million from Madrona Venture Group and Amazon, among others.
ThisMoment: The online photo album/timeline service by former Yahoo-er Vince Broady, which launched last month with $3 million in seed funding from some familiar digital media names like Shelby Bonnie, Mika Salmi, and Jason Hirschhorn.
Typekit, a much-watched online fonts startup, received $700K from the likes of Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, Flickr creator Caterina Fake, and Matt Mullenweg, the force behind WordPress and Automattic, among others.
Prezi, an online presentation tool, announced this morning that it got funding from Scandinavian VC firm Sunstone Capital and added Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey as an advisor.
SlideRocket, another startup that helps create online presentations, just announced $5 million in funding led by Azure Capital Partners with Hummer Winblad Venture Partners.
