Toronto’s Viigo who we reported on last week hired Mark Ruddock as new President and CEO has now completed a first round of financing up $6.5 million which was led by Ventures West.

“The Viigo platform delivers a highly optimized mobile experience that addresses the challenges of mobile devices, and circumvents the limitations of the mobile browser,” said Ted Anderson, President of Ventures West and member of the Viigo Board of Directors. “Migrating content and services to mobile devices has historically been a very challenging task for publishers and service providers and Viigo has found the solution.”

The company was originally founded in 2004 by Tas Tsonis, Brian Goldberg and Jay Steele, who have spent many years in the software industry and previously founded Plazmic Inc. which was acquired by Research In Motion in 2001.
