UppSite, which enables online publishers to turn their websites into native mobile and interactive Web applications in no time, has secured $2.1 million in what it calls a ‘pre-A funding round’ and what I would call a seed financing round.
The fledgling company is being backed by Israeli incubator thetime, Matomy Media Group and a number of angel investors.
UppSite, which officially launched its free web-to-mobile service at the recent DEMO Conference in Silicon Valley, will use part of the freshly raised cash to open an office in the San Francisco Bay Area. It has secured $2.7 million in total to date.
Its service enables the creation and app store distribution of HTML5 apps and native mobile applications for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone.
