SinDelantal.Mx Raises €2.5M From Seaya Ventures To Become The Just Eat Of Mexico (Or Get Bought)

Mexico’s SinDelantal.Mx, the online take-out delivery service started by the founders of Spain’s SinDelantal.com, which exited to Just Eat late last year for a figure we pegged in the range of “a few million dollars”, has raised €2.5 million from Spanish VC Seaya Ventures.

Seaya’s Michael Kleindl was a previous backer of Spain’s SinDelantal so he knows its founders, Diego Ballesteros and Evaristo Babé, fairly well. But perhaps most notable is that Just Eat, despite having no stake in SinDelantal.Mx, has allowed the startup to re-use the SinDelantal name in its bid to give the other major players in the region, Rocket Internet’s Food Panda, and Delivery Hero/Team Europe’s Superantojo, a run for their take-out money.

And with Just Eat not having a presence in Mexico (though it does operate in Latin America via Brazil), might we be seeing history repeating itself? The Spanish version of SinDelantal pre-existed Just Eat’s operation in Spain, after all, and we know how that panned out.

In addition, the official announcement notes, “thanks to the technology developed for SinDelantal.com in Spain, the launch has been carried out in a quick and agile way.” Can we say, rinse and repeat?

To that end, some numbers. Launched in 2012, SinDelantal.Mx claims it’s already a leader in the Mexican online take-out delivery market. The startup says it works with 1,000 restaurants in Mexico City, receiving over 10,000 orders each month, a metric its achieved in half the time it took for the founding team to do in Spain.

The company is also talking up Mexico as a while, noting that it has 47 million internet users, pushing it into second place in Latin America in terms of online shoppers (Brazil holds the top spot). Meanwhile, it says that nearly 50% of online shoppers make purchases via mobile phones, and that e-commerce in the country is seeing a yearly growth rate of nearly 50%. Better still, the online delivery market in Mexico is said to be ten times larger than in Spain, making the take-out space a tasty proposition.

These are sentiments echoes by Seaya’s Kleindl. “I am personally and we at Seaya are very bullish on Mexico in particular,” he told TechCrunch by email, noting that it is a “huge market” comprising a population of 120 million and a “very healthy marco-economical climate”, which is growing.

“For SinDelantal it is an outstanding opportunity because the take away and home delivery culture is so strong that why we estimate the market potential being 10 times that of Spain,” he says. “We know the founders very well. They did a fabolous job in the first one and will do it again now with more financial backing, more experience in a much larger market.”

Así funciona el reconocimiento visual inteligente del lenguaje de signos

En esta demostración se puede ver un sistema capaz de reconocer y traducir las señales que capta en lengua de signos americano y chino – pues son distintos para cada idioma. Además funciona tanto con palabras y signos independientes como en frases más largas y elaboradas.

¿Lo más interesante? No hace falta un hardware espectacular: funciona con un Kinect como el de la Xbox 360 y el traductor de Bing de Microsoft.

Content Marketing Platform Kapost Raises $5.4M From Lead Edge And Floodgate

Kapost, a startup offering tools for content marketers, just announced that it has raised $5.6 million in Series C funding.

This brings The TechStars-incubated company’s total funding to $8.7 million. The new round comes from new investors Lead Edge Capital and Floodgate, as well as previous investor High Country Venture.

Content marketing is basically what the name suggests — content that’s created to promote a company, which can take the form of blog posts, social network updates, videos, and more. In the funding press release, co-founder and CTO Nader Akhnoukh argues that this is a way to avoid “annoying your buyers with ads” and instead “inform, educate and entertain them – all the while earning their trust.” (Others have suggested that content marketing is where many journalists are going to get jobs in the future.)

Kapost’s tools include a workflow system for creating branded content, a publishing system that can push this content to a wide range of platforms, and analytics system’s for tracking the content’s success. (The company previously billed itself as a way for publishers to manage a large group of contributors.)

Kapost says it has more than 100 customers, including Intel, AT&T, Oracle, Allstate, General Mills, and Lenovo.
