Vivox, a provider of Internet-based communications services, has closed a $6 million Series A round of venture capital.
The 2-year-old company integrates voice, video, messaging and social networking capabilities into existing data networks. Vivox was founded by Jeff Pulver, also co-founder of Internet telephony giant Vonage Holdings Corp. in New Jersey, and says its customers deliver its services to roughly 500,000 users.
The six-person company is headquartered in Wayland. A Vixox spokeswoman said the company is searching for new office space, but is determined to stay in the MetroWest region.
GrandBanks Capital in Newton and Canaan Partners in Rowayton, Conn., led the investment.
