Jaxtr Inc., a Palo Alto, Calif.-based provider of VoIP services for social networks and blogs, has raised around $6.4 million in Series B funding

What Company Is Offering:
Jaxtr is with the mission to bring voice to social networks and blogs. With the free jaxtr service, users can link their phones with their online network to hear from callers worldwide while keeping their existing phone numbers private.

How It Works:
By adding their jaxtr link to their email signature, global friends can call our users on their phone with the click of the mouse - without downloading any software, incurring international phone charges or even registering for jaxtr.

When users change their work, home or mobile number, they simply add or update their number on jaxtr; incoming calls then get routed to the phone of their choice. They can even block callers from reaching them or specify on a per-caller basis which callers can reach them live and which get routed to voice mail.

How Much They Got From VCs:
Jaxtr Inc., a Palo Alto, Calif.-based provider of VoIP services for social networks and blogs, has raised around $6.4 million in Series B funding led by Lehman Brothers Venture Partners, according to a regulatory filing. The company had previously raised $10 million from August Capital, Draper Richards, Mayfield, Founders Fund, Ron Conway and Reid Hoffman.
