Attributor Secures $12 Million in Series C Financing
JAFCO Ventures Leads Round With Sigma Partners to Expand Sales and Innovation on Industry-Leading Content Tracking and Analysis Platform

REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - April 2, 2008) - Attributor Corporation, provider of the
world's first Web-wide content tracking and programming platform, today
announced series C funding of $12 million led by JAFCO Ventures and
previous investor Sigma Partners. The financing will accelerate innovation
of its industry-leading service as well as expand sales operations.
By providing Web-wide visibility of content reuse, Attributor enables
publishers to thrive in a search-dominated paradigm where original content
is atomized across thousands of pages. New licensing formats and business
models are required to keep up with the explosion of social networks and
self-publishing tools.
"Publishers recognize that strategic content proliferation can drive higher
Web-wide reach, better search rank and more visits back to their sites,"
said Jim Brock, Attributor CEO. "We fuel off-site content monetization and
deliver actionable editorial and sales analytics on consumer and licensee
content usage."
"To succeed online, publishers need to program how, when and where their
content is distributed," said Joe Horowitz of JAFCO Ventures, who will be
joining Attributor's board of directors. "Attributor provides critical
infrastructure that enables publishers to maximize the value of their
digital content."
Attributor's third round of financing builds on rapid customer adoption of
its cross-media monitoring platform. In recent months, Attributor has
partnered with such major publishers as The Associated Press, Reuters and
CondéNet.
