Fusfoo Media Launches First Digital High School Network; Completes First Funding Round; Adds Key Personnel

New York, NY, February 10, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Fusfoo Media LLC, developer of the first high school-only national digital network announced today it has closed its seed round of funding through two private Family Offices.

     According to Evan Denner, Fusfoo co-founder, "Fusfoo is the first high school national digital network where both video and editorial content is created by high school students for high school students. Every US high school will have its own digital channel where students will have the opportunity to create, edit, and curate editorial and video content from their schools, their communities and any other place they can capture content. High school channels will also be able to repost content to their local channel from other high schools and from the national Fusfoo channel.”

     Co-founder Bob Ferraro, Jr. added, “the approximate 17 million high school students are part of the first generation to live their lives fully digitally.  We have provided high schools and students with version 10.0 of school newspapers and newsroom platforms. Through our Fusfoo platform, we have taken the approximate 27,000 high schools across the US and made them one school for the purposes of creating, curating and delivering digital content.”

     “The key is safety,” says Ferraro. “Fusfoo provides a safe, bully-free environment for students to produce and share content within the four walls of their school as well as with students nationwide. The platform is all about discovery, students being discovered as well as self-discovery, providing students with the opportunity to learn from their high school peers across the country.  Fusfoo is the perfect high school recipe -- one part safe social platform, one part education and one part entertainment."

     Fusfoo's current pilot program is oversubscribed. Its soft launch is slated for late spring.  Additional schools will be admitted to the platform effective September 2016. The Fusfoo platform provides high school students interested in the field of communications, whether as producers, editors, journalists or anything else they can dream of, the opportunity to be responsible for their own newsroom and content creation under the guidance of their high school advisor. An added benefit for students – they will strengthen their college and job applications by using Fusfoo's proprietary platform to build their digital portfolios.

     Separately, Fusfoo Media also announced that Dani Finkel has joined Fusfoo Media as Creative Director and Jana Levinson has joined as Director of Digital Strategy. Diane Robina, a former MTV Network’s and Nickelodeon executive has joined the company as an advisor and is working closely with the company and high schools on content creation and distribution as well as on strategic relationships.
