Zemanta
Enriching web content through links, pictures, tags and
related news

Start-up web 2.0 company, Zemanta, provides an innovative, intelligent content-enrichment service aimed at the millions of individuals and small to medium size companies that publish blogs and websites.

The free-to-use software uses natural language processing and semantic technology to analyse words and phrases in a piece of text. It then suggests contextually relevant links to pictures, articles, news and other related content from around the web. The suggested multi-media links can be reviewed and edited by the author before being automatically incorporated into the site.

Launched in early 2008, Zemanta’s vision is to become the first-choice content enrichment service wherever online content is being produced – from blogs, to online word processors, to email. Its goal is to help create a richer, more interlinked web of user generated content for tens of millions of readers. Initially targeting English-language websites, Zemanta is based in London, with software development in Slovenia. The company was a 2007 winner at Seedcamp – the European funding and networking event for technology start-ups. In April 2008 it was listed in the Red Herring Europe 100.

Eden’s seed investment, along with TAG, in early 2008 is helping Zemanta launch its initial blogger service as well as develop and execute its monetization strategy. Zemanta recently raised further investment from Union Square Ventures.
