Cranson Capital Closes $460,000 Financing for Flixel Photos Inc.

TORONTO, May 28, 2014 /CNW/ - Cranson Capital Securities Inc. (Cranson Capital) is pleased to announce that it has closed a convertible debenture financing for Flixel Photos Inc.("Flixel"), an innovative new photography software which combines still photographs and captivating aspects of video. Cranson Capital raised $460,000 through a number of private accredited investors in a convertible debenture offering for the expansion and development of the business.

Last year,Flixel partnered with Tyra Banks, where the "living photos" were featured on her hit television show America's Next Top Model. This strategic partnership created significant awareness and exposure that helped put Flixel on the map. Since then, the company has made significant progress.

In February 2014, Flixel launched Cinemagraph Pro, a professional desktop version of its popular photography software for Mac computers, previously available only for iOS. Within weeks, Flixel achieved featured status on the Mac App Store where it reached No. 1 in the photography category in 78 countries. It also reported sales of over $250,000  in their first quarter, of launching the desktop software. Philippe LeBlanc, CEO of Flixel Photos Inc, commented, "As a team, we had an aggressive goal to become a top player in the photography space, but to have achieved the coveted No. 1 paid App in the Mac App Store in our first month of release was a major milestone for our company."

Devon Cranson, President of Cranson Capital, commented, "We are excited with the continued growth and success of Flixel. When we were first engaged by the company to provide funding, they were only recognized as a start-up mobile app. Flixel continues to hit significant milestones and through strategic partnerships and software development, the company is evolving into a leading player in the photography industry."He added, "Our ongoing financing efforts allow us to give our investors the continued opportunity to invest in Flixel's  success and achievements."
