Mountain View, Calif. -- Pixazza, the Mountain View-based developer of a new service that lets users roll their mice over static web images to learn more and see related products, said that it has raised $5.75 million in its first round of funding. Participants included August Capital, CMEA Capital, Google and individuals including angle investor Ron Conway, former eBay COO Maynard Web and Facebook CFO Gideon Yu. Founded in 2008, Pixazza is a tool that web publishers can install that lets users mouse over items in photos, to reveal information and pricing about products similar in look in style to the one that caught their eye, then click through to make purchases. "Pixazza hopes to do for images what Google's AdSense did for web pages," said CEO Bob Lisbonne.
