SocialSafe Raises $1M in Funding

SocialSafe, a Farnham, UK-based software company which enables people to create local copies of content shared in social media sites, raised $1m in funding.

Backers included Marco Sodi, Gordon Bell, and a number of investors from UK based group Knight Ventures.

The company intends to use the funds to expand its offering into mobile devices, a development related to Device Independence, which will allow each user’s library of personal data to be held in their own personal cloud (Microsoft’s SkyDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.).

Founded by Julian Ranger, SocialSafe provides social media users with a backup tool that allows account owners to completely control their data. It currently supports Facebook Profiles, Facebook Pages, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Instagram, Viadeo, Pinterest and RSS feeds. The SocialSafe journal allows users to search, view, browse and export their content on their own machine, as well as including built-in analytical functions.
To date, the company has raised $538k, with the last funding amounting to $400k (read here).

It is hiring.
