Riffsy Raises $3.5M for GIF Keyboard on iOS

Mobile app company Riffsy has announced it has raised $3.5 million in seed funding for its GIF Keyboard app on iOS devices. The funding round was led by Redpoint Ventures, and will help Riffsy transform the process of sending animated images to friends into one that’s as simple and “everyday” as sending emojis. To date, Riffsy has passed 500 million monthly GIF views.

Riffy’s GIF Keyboard was launched on iOS in September 2014. Using the keyboard, users can text, iMessage, tweet and/or email millions of animated GIFs from their device.
