Comedy.com Launches, Discloses Funding
Santa Monica-based Comedy.com has launched an online video web site focused on comedy, and has also scored a round of funding. The funding for the site came from Symbolic Action, Prism VentureWorks, and Walden Venture Capital. Comedy.com was founded by former UPN CEO Dean Valentine, who also manages Symbolic Action. The site--which joins a slew of comedy sites launched in recent weeks--features original, comedy content. A source at Prism Ventures, which was seed investors in the site, told socalTECH that the funding was actually done awhile ago, but only recently came to light due to Comedy.com's launch. Prism's lead on the deal was Woody Benson. Comedy.com joins WayOutTV, a comedy channel from comedian Damon Wayans; Funny or Die, a comedy site run by Will Ferrell; and similar offerings from My Damn Channel and others. News of the funding was first reported by Variety.
