Asterisk grabs $13.2 million

Digium made a touchdown. Big news, $13.2 million in venture funding, in first round. Matrix Partners digs the company responsible for the Asterisk open source voice over IP platform. Digium said the funding will help fuel the continued growth of the company and Asterisk, “especially in launching new offerings for the enterprise communications market, ranging from small to large businesses.”

Mark Spencer, Digium founder and Asterisk software architect, briefly explained to GigaOM how the software is cool and flexible:

It can be used for anything from small business to large companies or even carriers. People are using it for phone-based pod casting. Spark Parking is using it for auto parking applications, while some students at NYU have come up with a VoIP-based blogging tool.
