Glide Talk Raises $20M To Expand Video Messaging App

December 2, 2014 | The video-messaging startup Glide Talk announced that it closed a $20 million investment round, bringing total investment in the company to $28.5 million. Following the funding round, the company, founded in 2012 in Jerusalem, will reach a $100 million valuation, sources tell the “Wall Street Journal.” Glide Talk allows users to send video messages over the cloud, so that the videos they record, send and receive don’t take up space on their device. Managed by Chief Executive Ari Roisman, the company is reportedly tailoring their technology for use in smartwatches, a growing sector.
