Reactrix, the alternative out of home media company that provides gesture-based interactive advertising opportunities in malls and movie theatres, is on the block.
In receivership, the Redwood City, Calif.-based company retained business consultants Sherwood Partners to “manage the restructuring process and find buyers for the company’s media and technology assets,” Mike Ribero, CEO of Reactrix said Wednesday (Oct. 15) in a prepared statement.
Ribero blamed a weak market for alternative out of home media and the current credit crisis, which made it difficult for the company to obtain debt or equity financing.
Since the company was founded in 2002, Reactrix has had a number of investors including Worldview Technology Partners, Mobius Venture Capital, Thomas Weisel Venture Partners, and Tim Koogle, the former chairman and CEO of Yahoo!
Sherwood has retained 13 of Reactrix’s key technology employees in the hopes of selling the technology.
