Paydiant Throws Its Hat Into The Mobile Payments Ring, Raises $7.6 Million
Paydiant , a new Boston-based mobile payments startup, this morning announced that it closed a $7.6 million Series A round of funding led by North Bridge Venture Partners and General Catalyst Partners . The company plans to formally launch later this year. Paydiant was co-founded by Chris Gardner, Kevin Laracey and Joe Paratore, three serial entrepreneurs. Laracey was formerly venture partner at Sigma Partners and co-founder and CEO of edocs, the online billing and payments company that was acquired by Siebel Systems (now part of Oracle) in 2005. Gardner also worked at edocs, where he served as VP of products and marketing, and went on to join premium SMS mobile payments provider m-Qube ( acquired by Verisign in 2006) in the same capacity. Most recently, Gardner was CMO at ExtendMedia , a digital media content delivery and commerce platform software company that was acquired by Cisco in 2010.
We’re quite big fans of Airbnb , the “community marketplace for space” here at TechCrunch, and we’re far from the only ones . This morning, the young company announced that it has hit a fairly big milestone: one million nights have been booked through the service since its launch (including a couple by TechCrunch staff, I might add). Airbnb also says it has registered month-over-month growth of 65% in January 2011 alone.

Applying listening logic to television content as Shazam has done for music, new startup IntoNow is launching its iOS application Monday that is capable of identifying 2.6 million broadcast airings, equating to 266 years of video. The television companion application is designed to create an easy way for users to connect with friends around the shows that they love. Select the TV icon from within the iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch app and IntoNow listens to what you're watching on the boob tube or internet. In four to twelve seconds the application magically returns the exact episode, and correctly identifies whether the content is airing live or if it's a rebroadcast on the original network or a syndicate. IntoNow provides users with show info, one-click access to IMDb, iTunes and Netflix, the latter of which provides users with a quick way to save episodes to their Instant Queue.

Websites like SpotScout and Google Open Spot can help urban drivers find a place to park, but typically they rely on other users to post the relevant details when a spot opens up. A new solution now at work in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, however, uses in-ground sensors to provide such information automatically. The brainchild of Paris-based SmartGrains , ParkSense is an integrated solution based on specially designed sensors that are placed directly in the ground in parking areas. The presence of a vehicle changes the sensor’s ambient magnetic field, allowing it to infer whether or not there is a vehicle in a particular spot. The durable sensors are also connected in a mesh wireless radio network, allowing each one to report any spots that open up. Drivers, meanwhile, can use the free ParkSense iPhone app to see the resulting information as to what parking spots are available nearby.
