Panna is a curated video cooking magazine that publishes digital issues for iPhone and iPad featuring seasonal video recipes from master chefs. Each issue contains 13 seasonal video recipes and the app includes a Panna TV feature that lets readers watch an entire issue like a TV program with a scrubber to fast-forward and rewind. The company showcases work from chefs such as Jonathan Waxman, Rick Bayless, Sean Brock and Nancy Silverton and has partnerships with brands like Sur La Table and Whole Foods to include chef segments on equipment and vegan-friendly meals. Created by entertainment industry veteran David Ellner, Panna focuses on high-production culinary video content distributed as a digital magazine. The company raised $1.35M in its first funding round and plans to use the proceeds to expand the team, produce new content and ramp up sales and marketing efforts. These moves are aimed at broadening the app's content offerings and commercial partnerships.
