SaysMe.TV Closes Series A Investment from Venture Funds

LOS ANGELES, April 25:
SaysMe, a provider of political-based, consumer-driven television advertising,
has closed its Series A financing by Intel Capital, which led the round, and
Prime Capital, with participation by Ashton Kutcher's Katalyst Films,
outdoor-media advertising titan Bill Apfelbaum and other investors.

The proceeds from this
funding round will be used to expand SaysMe's product offering beyond politics
and continue development of its suite of consumer-friendly technology. SaysMe
offers a library of political and issue-based ads that people can run on the
cable network of their choice and brand with their name using SaysMe's
"Name 3" web service. Users of the SaysMe web interface can select a
city and a network where they would like to run their own ad. All reporting is
automated and the consumer gets to watch their personally sponsored ad for as
low as $25 per market. Furthermore, producers are encouraged to submit
25-second and 55-second TV-ready spots and earn royalties when others choose to
run them.

"We're thrilled to be
working with such a blue chip set of investors who share our enthusiasm for the
opportunities that exist with our unique business model and product offering,"
said Lisa Eisenpresser, the co-founder and CEO of SaysMe. "This round of
funding enables us to continue building our technology and sales platform to
let fans and detractors of all persuasions know that SaysMe is the place to
voice their passions, promote their beliefs, and make a difference in this
election and beyond."
