Online video-based marketplace The Talk Market raises funding from Amazon
The Talk Market is trying to create a video-based marketplace, where users can customize their self-created informercials. As a seller, you shoot a video of what you’re selling, then use The Talk Market to add graphics, including customized motion graphics, and music to your videos.
The company has raised an undisclosed round of equity funding from Amazon. Also, it uses Amazon Web Services Flexible Payment service, providing its merchants with free (but mandatory) Amazon Payments Business accounts so that existing Amazon users can make purchases with credit cards they already have set up with Amazon.
