Madrona Venture Group led the round for the Seattle-based company, which was founded in 2005 by Andy Liu and David Niu. BuddyTV raised its previous round in June 2007 from Gemstart-TV Guide and Charles River Ventures.
The site says it has several million fans visiting monthly to keep up with their favorite TV shows and stars. The site Geoff Entress will join BuddyTV’s board of directors and Madrona managing director Greg Gottesman will serve as a board observer.
