Issuu just
announced it has raised $5 million in a Series B investment from
Sunstone Capital, which had already provided Series A funding to the amount of $1.25 million in early 2007. The Copenhagen, Denmark-based startup has also added a slew of new features to its existing product and launched a premium version for professional publishers. When we first came across Issuu, which turns uploaded documents into interactive online publications for free, we said it was one of the first service of its kind that
didn't suck. In addition to the funding announcement, the company is also releasing a major product update.

Last year we
wrote about
dazzboard, the public beta of a browser-based media manager that claims to have all the features of iTunes without locking you down to Apple's warm but sometimes stiflingly closed world. The product from Finnish startup
Linkotec has now received $1.5 million in seed funding to boost growth and expand globally. The investment round was led by HTT Sixgen (a Finnish, family owned, VC) and was followed by additional funding from another Finnish VC, Veraventure. As with so many Finnish startups, there is usually an ex-Nokia person hovering around somewhere. In this case it's former Nokia Ventures head Timo Teimonen is joining the board. It's also adding Mats Therman, partner at HTT Sixgen, and Tero Salonen, a serial entrepreneur and CEO and co-founder of Dazzboard.
