Jacked Raises $6.5 Million; Partners with NBC

9/6/07 – Santa Monica-based Jacked, an online publishing platform designed to operate simultaneously with TV programming, has closed a $6.5 million initial round of funding from Provenance Ventures, Core Capital Partners and Gabriel Venture Partners.  The company also inked a deal with NBC to power NBCSports.com Play Action, which is an online in-game application that will accompany the network’s broadcasts of the 2007 Notre Dame football season.

The company was founded by former American Greetings Mobile chief Bryan Biniak.  Its platform is a mixture of online applications with a library of information, media, game, commerce and advertising spots, which allows users to interact with shows through information like statistics, photos, player information, play-by-play, chat and news.
