Conference: DEMOfall 07
Market Segment: Enabling Technology
Funding Details: Pudding Media is supported by a seed investment of $2.2 million from Opus Capital, BRM Capital, private investors and the founders. Pudding Media is also supported by a grant by the Office of Chief Scientist in Israel.
Competitors: No direct competitors. No other company has yet integrated contextual ads and content into conversations.
Product Description: Soon, every call you make—from your mobile, home or computer—could be free, and you’ll see valuable information, entertainment and advertising based on relevant keywords spoken in a call. Pudding Media is building a platform to speed the transition to free calls and the proof of The Pudding is in the fun, relevant content and offers related to topics you care about.
Market Opportunity: Pudding Media is defining the new market category of contextual ad-supported voice communications for mobile, Internet telephony, or any other medium of voice conversations. Hundreds of millions of consumers make tens of billions of minutes of free calls every year. Pudding Media is helping monetize and support these free calls.
DEMO Says: We must confess that our first reaction to The Pudding was, shall we say, extreme hesitation. A technology that appears to listen in on your phone calls—well, the concerns are obvious. Our second reaction, however, was one of extreme interest. The ability to derive context from a voice conversation and then translate that context into Web results—the possibilities are endless. So go ahead and utter a “You’re doing what now?” and get the shock out of the way. This is one of the technologies that has the potential to significantly alter our landscape. Let’s debate exactly how it’s going to do that. And whether we want it to.
