VERSUS IO, the world's most sophisticated product comparison platform, today announced it has completed its Series A funding round led by Earlybird Venture Capital. VERSUS IO enables users to compare consumer technology products like smartphones and tablets, cities and more. Using VERSUS IO, consumers are able to view results in a simple and clear format, without "information overload" and ultimately allowing consumers to digest complex product data quickly and efficiently.

VERSUS IO uses a unique sophisticated natural language algorithm and user interface styling that presents its results in a way that appeals to a users' logic psyche and is incredibly useful. There are now 25 million comparisons available to consumers on the site in 18 languages. Since its launch in July 2011, VERSUS IO traffic has increased on average by 35% each month and is now attracting 2.2 million unique visitors each month.

The round also includes additional investments from 500 Startups led by Dave McClure who initially invested $100K in December 2012, seed investor High-Tech Gründerfonds and angel investors Lars Dittrich and Dario Suter. To date VERSUS IO has raised $1M in total.
