On Friday, Conde Nast was named Publisher of the Year because of its content and media strategy on mobile and tablets. They are constantly expanding their consumer base by coming up with different strategies to reach readers. As it pertains to GENWI, Conde Nast is also monetizing using ad support as in the DailyW app sponsored by Calvin Klein.
"The daily updated app, which launched in September, lets consumers shop products featured in the app as well as access to tablet-specific articles, videos and photo galleries. Condé Nast is working with app developer GENWI on the initiative."
Congratulations to Conde Nast and the hardworking team!!

We plan on continuing to add more employees in order to fill up all this space! If you think you have what it takes to work in a startup, check out our jobs page and apply! Come work for an up and coming startup and make your mark in Silicon Valley.

GENWI Raises $4 million from Nexus Venture Partners
in Series A Funding
GENWI, the premier cloud publishing platform for mobile, raises $4 million in Series A Funding from Nexus Venture Partners and existing Investors Inventus Capital Partners and Quest Venture Partners
October 12, 2011 – Los Altos, CA – GENWI (http://genwi.com), the leader in cloud publishing platforms for Tablets and Smartphones, has raised $4 million in Series A funding in a round led by Nexus Venture Partners (http://nexusvp.com). GENWI’s existing investors, Inventus Capital Partners and Quest Venture Partners, also participated in the round, bringing GENWI’s lifetime funding to $5.1 million including their original $1.1 million seed round raised in 2010.
Offering one of the easiest and yet extremely powerful cloud-based platforms for publishing content on Tablets and Smartphones, GENWI has created and is actively managing over 1,500 apps for thousands of publishers. As opposed to custom building apps for each device form factor, GENWI affords publishers the ability to publish once and deliver interactive apps across all smart mobile devices - including iOS, Android, and HTML5.
The GENWI Cloud Publishing Suite offers a mobile optimized, content aggregation and management system (mCMSTM), a custom interface layout engine, usage analytics, smart content curation based on analytics, social and ad networks integration, and app distribution from the cloud. Publishers and mobile marketers can now build out their entire mobile strategy on the GENWI platform as opposed to creating piece meal solutions for various devices from multiple services. Resulting live publications in the form of interactive apps offer a visually stunning experience along with real time content delivery and interactivity while affording the publisher a cloud publishing platform with unparalleled scalability and an incredible time to market advantage.
Several major GENWI customers include Vans Shoes, Forbes, Cox Media, PBS Arizona, PBS Sprout Kids, TNA Wrestling, Moguldom Media, and Newser. Acquiring new customers including major media publishers and retailers at an indelibly fast pace, GENWI continues to see its customer base grow while offering one of the fastest solutions to creating a reliable and innovative mobile presence without the complexities or costs of original code development, and low total cost of ownership.
“Our new funding round will be used to build out the infrastructure and an extensive app network to offer more advanced monetization, and distribution features for publishers” said PJ Gurumohan, CEO and Founder of GENWI. “This new round comes from the very best visionary leaders and entrepreneurs with expertise in cloud and infrastructure services combined with publishing industry expertise to help us expand internationally.” A primary focus of the funding efforts will also be a full global expansion of the service, as well as development of multilingual functionality.
“We are thrilled to support GENWI’s impressive efforts in the mobile cloud publishing arena,” said Jishnu Bhattacharjee, of Nexus Venture Partners, who will be joining GENWI’s board of directors. “GENWI’s technology is set to enable and accelerate the transformation that Tablets and Smartphones are bringing in the modes of media consumption”.
Our esteemed marketing colleague, Yamini, left GenWi today. You may have chatted with her on Genwi.com or have read her blogs. But that does not mean GenWi can't help you out with building an amazing and interactive app! Keep up with Genwi on twitter @genwi
