PALO ALTO, CA, Klip today announced that it has raised an $8M Series B round of financing led by Benchmark Capital. With this financing Klip looks to build upon its leadership position in the social mobile video market and drive further product innovation.

Klip is a leading social video app which offers a breakthrough video discovery and viewing experience on the iPhone and iPod touch.
