Joyned, a Jerusalem, Israel-based SaaS startup formerly known as Gamitee, raised $4 million in seed funding to continue developing its e-commerce platform that puts merchants in the driver’s seat of social engagement.

Leading the round is Arthur Stark, former president of Bed Bath & Beyond, Yair Goldfinger, founder of Dotomi and ICQ, and Rafael Ashkenazi, managing director and executive chairman at Hard Rock Digital.

The new capital will lay the foundation for Joyned’s large-scale U.S. expansion, where the company is already seeing an impact. The company wants to build on its marketing team in Florida and add sales and support functions.
