Sequoia Capital recently provided $4 million in funding to Tokbox - a new startup providing real-time web chats via a browser. Sequoia joins an already impressive collection of investors including founding members of YouTube, Bebo, and Netscape along with execs from Slide, PayPal and Cisco. This investor network alone will likely propel the startup to partnerships and acquisition discussions.
TokBox leverages Flash features to provide users with a web chat platform devoid of downloaded material consuming memory. A simple widget also enables TokBox to be easily embedded in blogs and social networks (see how TokBox looks in Facebook below).
