Aylus Networks secures $16 million series D round lead by London's m8 Capital
Aylus plans to take advantage of the front-facing cameras in smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops and the fact that video calling is going to be big over the next few years. Especially crucial is device interdependence.
Apple’s Facetime is all very well but it requires iOS devices. People don’t want to be locked down to one device or silo.
