Urturn is a social network. Urturn initially launched in early 2011 as Webdoc by co-founders Stelio and Alexander Tzonis.〔 The company raised $500,000 from family and friends before its series A funding round.〔 Webdoc was relaunched as Urturn in January 2013 followed by an accompanying iPhone app in May.〔 With the news of the app, Urturn also announced it had completed $13.4 million Series A fundraising round with $10.7 million contributed by Balderton Capital and $2.7 million invested by the private equity arm of Debiopharm Group. Chief executive Stelio Tzonis said that use of the funding will be prioritized for building the API and advancing development of Urturn across multiple platforms, including Android. Marketed as a "social platform for self-expression", the site provides templates for users to customize media such as photos. The resulting content can then be shared over Urturn, as well as to Facebook and Twitter. Urturn aims to later let developers create their own templates with the release of an API.〔 Urturn is headquartered in London and has an office in Silicon Valley.〔 It employs 25 staff.〔 Urturn is more popular among teens and young adults and among females. The U.S., followed by the UK, and then South America account for most of the site's traffic. The service is also used by music brands such as One Direction. Urturn anticipates these brands will be a source of revenue in addition to affiliate deals for music and other products.〔 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Urturn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
